BRS ballistic parachute save
#105 |
While flying in an Teman Mono-fly, a rudder cable broke
throwing the aircraft in a tightening spiral. Accelerating fast with no
control, pilot Ron Kline deployed his older BRS-2
(electrically-activated) BRS system.
" We watched the ultralight flying straight and
level when we heard a loud pop, followed by the motor quitting. We could
see the ultralight making tight turns. After three turns, the nose
headed for the ground like a lawn dart. At 500 feet, he deployed maybe
at 80 mph.
Today's score:
BRS-1;
Death-0."
Result: Pilot Survived!
