      Ballistic Recovery Systems, Inc. (Pink Sheets: BRSI), a manufacturer of 
      whole-aircraft emergency parachute systems, announced today that it was 
      notified of an aircraft accident in Germany on Monday, August 25th, 2008 
      where its parachute recovery system saved the life of its pilot. The 
      pilot of an FK14 Polaris light aircraft, losing aerodynamic control of 
      his aircraft upon encountering severe weather near the city of Cologne, 
      Germany and, realizing he was in a deteriorating situation, elected to 
      deploy his installed BRS emergency parachute system. The pilot 
      subsequently landed in a grove of trees and walked away with only a 
      sight scratch to his face. “Once again, I am 
      extremely proud of the BRS team whose concerted efforts made such a 
      difference to this pilot and his family”, said 
      BRS CEO, Larry Williams. “We are indeed 
      privileged to work for a company that has designed, manufactured, and 
      sold such a product which has saved so many lives through the years!” 
      he added. This incident marks the 214th 
      documented life saved by the patented BRS parachute system.
