BRS Registers Saved Lives #209-211!

  
    
  
  
    
      Ballistic Recovery Systems, Inc. (Pink Sheets: BRSI), a manufacturer of 
      whole-aircraft emergency parachute systems, announced today that it was 
      notified of two separate aircraft accidents involving a total of three 
      pilots and passengers where their patented emergency parachute system 
      was used to bring all occupants safely back to the ground. Both 
      incidents occurred in 2007. In one, a Missouri-based pilot experienced 
      catastrophic engine failure of his Backyard Flyer Ultra Light and, while 
      inverted and spiraling down at 300 feet altitude, deployed the 
      parachute. The pilot experienced only minor scratches and walked away 
      from the aircraft. In the second incident occurring in Luxembourg, a 
      pilot and passenger lost control of their C-42 Comco Ikarus aircraft 
      when they encountered severe wing tip vortices from a Boeing 747 
      commercial aircraft. They were able to deploy their installed BRS 
      parachute and were recovered safely. These two incidents marked numbers 
      209, 210, and 211 in BRS’ long legacy of 
      documented lives saved by its emergency parachute system.
