If you read through the “saves” for the cirrus BRS and then look at accidents for other similar touring aircraft it is hard to escape the fact that there are lower time less qualified pilots getting out of their depth and puling the BRS in much grater numbers than accidents in non BRS aircraft. The weather might be a bit much but I have a BRS so it will be all right and the forecast is always pessimistic, is an approach that you are unlikely to take if you have no BRS. I am not saying BRS is all bad, but it does appear to encourage more risk taking because there is a fall back.
