Ballistic Recovery Systems, Inc.
(BRSI)(OTCBB:BRSI)(BRSparachutes.com), a manufacturer of
whole-airplane parachute recovery systems for general aviation and
recreational aircraft, reported today two separate parachute
deployments bringing the total lives saved by BRS parachute systems to
203. A New Hampshire based pilot, during a test flight in a borrowed
airplane, escaped death while testing a new wing. During the test he
experienced serious roll control problems which led to a terminal
unrecoverable spiral dive. The Trike he was flying was equipped with a
BRS emergency parachute recovery system which he deployed. The Trike
landed in the Connecticut River where the pilot was rescued by a
nearby fisherman.
The pilot's normal Trike does not have a BRS parachute - yet. He
had elected to use a different Trike, one equipped with the BRS
parachute, to test the new wing. He now says he "won't ever fly
without a BRS parachute system again."
This save was the second successful BRS parachute deployment
during the same week. Save number 202 happened on the West coast in
Lodi, California when an ultralight planes' wing failed at about 2000
feet and the pilot used his BRS parachute system which had been
originally installed in 1999. The ultralight landed in an orchard and
the pilot was uninjured. According to the aircraft owners, the system
is now on the way back to BRS for replacement.
Based in South St. Paul, Minnesota, BRS is a company that designs,
manufactures and distributes whole-plane emergency parachute systems
for use on general aviation and recreational aircraft. Since 1981, BRS
has delivered more than 27,000 parachute systems to aircraft owners
around the world. To date, BRS parachute recovery systems have been
credited with saving the lives of 203 pilots and passengers.
