Guys --

Richard Titsworth pointed out to me that the 25 foot-per-second descent rate with a BRS?*is* 1500 feet per minute.? Gee, I get the "turkey of the day" award...

Anyway, they claim that 25 fps (1500 fpm) is survivable.? They told us that they want the airplane to land slightly nose down.? If we were going to land tail first, they would have insisted on head-rest-type protection features.

You know, 25 fps didn't sound all that fast to me, but 1500 fpm seems pretty darn fast to be crunching into the ground.
