The point I was making is that the airplane is reusable after deploying a spin chute, but is junk after using the ballistic chute. Makes financial sense to not depend on the Ballistic chute for recovering from a non-responsive spin.

One of the reports I read mentioned there was a failure of the ballistic chute before he bailed out.  It may be that they were depending on it if a problem developed rather than instlling a traditional spin recovery chute.

What surprises me is that there is no mention of a spin chute.
