BRS ballistic parachute save
#109/110 |
Flying in their Silent Racer trike with retractable gear, a
German pilot and his female passenger entered a steepening
spiral. Unable to regain control with the ground quickly approaching,
the pilot deployed his BRS-900.
Landing areas were few, but the parachute allowed the trike to settle
into a small area only twice the size of the trike itself. The pilot
lowered the gear before touchdown and was rewarded with little damage.
"Over a village surrounded by trees, we had no chance to remedy the
situation and no place to land safely by conventional means. After
impact, I discovered only the gear had slight damage and I was
uninjured. My passenger suffered only a small cut on the lip when she
hit the back of my helmet. All was well!"
Result: Pilot and passenger survived!
