BRS Parachute System Saves Four In Dramatic Norway Emergency

Number Of People Saved By The System Stands At 250

BRS Aerospace ("Ballistic Recovery Systems") of South St. Paul, Minnesota has now documented 250 lives saved. Four people in a Cirrus SR20 SRV G3 single-engine aircraft were uninjured after deploying their BRS-equipped ballistic emergency parachute over unlandable rocky terrain in southern Norway on May 28th during an enroute emergency.  The pilot apparently lost control of the aircraft due to disorientation upon entering instrument (IMC) conditions and/or severe icing and elected to deploy his parachute.

"Upon reviewing photos of the plane's accident site, it's clear that the pilot had little, if any, chance of safely landing the aircraft in such hilly and rocky terrain" stated Boris Popov, founder and director of BRS Aerospace.

"Everyone in the factory was overjoyed to hear that they had contributed to saving this many people at one time", said BRS Aerospace CEO and President, Larry Williams.  "While the accident itself is upsetting to all involved, no doubt, our BRS workforce is always happy to hear of how their efforts directly contribute to the saving of human lives, now totaling 250", he added.
