Ballistic Recovery Systems, Inc. (OTCBB:BRSI)(www.BRSparachutes.com),
a manufacturer of whole-airplane parachute recovery systems for general
aviation and recreational aircraft, announced today that another
successful aircraft parachute landing has saved the lives of four
people, this time on the island of Jamaica – a
first for a certified airplane parachute deployment in the Caribbean
region.
On the morning of Friday, September 22, one American and three citizens
of the Dominican Republic were flying a Cirrus SR20, which departed from
the Norman Manley International Airport in Kingston, Jamaica, headed for
the Dominican Republic. Sergeant Troy Anderson, an official spokesperson
for Jamaica’s Constabulatory Communication
Network – a division of the police department –
said, “About twenty minutes after takeoff, a
distress call was made to air traffic control and the Cirrus airplane’s
emergency airframe recovery parachute system was activated. The aircraft
came to rest in a heavily treed area in the hills of an area called 11
Miles, near Bull’s Bay, in the Parish of St.
Andrew.”
Citizens in the area were first on the scene after being alerted to the
accident by the sound of the parachute’s
rocket firing. Within minutes, officials from police and fire
departments, and from the Jamaica Defense Force, arrived to provide
assistance and move the airplane’s occupants
to the Kingston Public Hospital for routine observation and treatment.
Sergeant Anderson said, “The parachute
covered the aircraft like a big deflated balloon. The pilot and
passengers were all able to walk and appeared to have sustained no
obvious serous injuries. An elderly male passenger, a 79-year old
American, was carried as a precautionary measure.”
“It was a huge highlight for all of the
responders at the accident scene to see that the parachute device had
cushioned what would have been a crash landing in the hills. The
parachute obviously negated a strong impact that otherwise could have
proved disastrous.”
It has been reported by various news outlets that a passenger was
credited with directly activating the emergency parachute recovery
system, after being directed to do so by the pilot in command. “This
underscores the fact that when a pilot is incapacitated or otherwise
unable to deploy the system, a passenger can safely activate the
parachute,” said BRS Vice President John
Gilmore.
Sergeant Anderson added, “Our Civil Aviation
Authority will carry out a detailed investigation into this accident and
more information will be released in the future.”
With the successful parachute save of a pilot last July in France, and
of three passengers in an Indiana parachute deployment last month, the
Jamaica parachute landing brings the total number of lives saved by BRS
safety systems to 198, making the proven technology nearly routine.
BRS is a South St. Paul, Minnesota, based company that designs,
manufactures and distributes whole-plane emergency parachute systems for
use on general aviation and recreational aircraft. Since 1981, BRS has
delivered more than 23,000 parachute systems to aircraft owners around
the world including over 2,800 systems on certified aircraft like the
Cirrus Design aircraft manufactured in Duluth, Minnesota. To date, BRS
parachute recovery systems have been credited with saving the lives of
198 pilots and passengers.
