It isn't advertised, therefore, few people realize that using a BMRS is
a guaranteed destruction of your airplane. The plane comes down so fast
and nose-low that it fairly crushes in front thus protecting the
passenger compartment and its occupants (I would worry about any header
tank rupture).
I often fly across over 100 mile tracts of wooded Allegheny mountains. On
VFR days I look down and just cant imagine where I could survivably land,
engine out. Then I fly the same route in 0 ceiling IFR, at night. I
believe that if my engine failed on one of these flights a BRS system
would save my life.
I am pretty sure the BRS system for the 152 would work. I would run a
pair of kevlar cables down and around the wing spar to hold up the plane.
I asked BRS if they would sell me a system to try in the LNC2 but they
refused!
