[From Jack Webb] "What surprises me is that there is no mention of a spin chute"
 
I saw an article, I think it was on Aero-News, that the SkyCatcher that crashed was equiped with a BRS chute.  The pop and sparks witnesses reported before the crash was the pilot trying to deploy the chute.  For some reason the chute failed to deploy so the pilot bailed out.
