Just because you have a BRS option doesnt mean you cant still choose to glide into a suitable deadstick landing site.
If Ken Rand had a BRS when he got lost in that snowstorm in the mountains, he may well have survived. When I add mine, it will be to just add another safety option. For example if caught in bad weather, loss engine at night, over water (I'd rather splash down than cartwheel in a water ditching). To each his own but I think 20 or 25 lbs would be under 4% of the weight of my loaded KR1 (including me) and give peace of mind. _______________________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at https://www.mail-archive.com/krnet@list.krnet.org/.
