A. In all likelihood the aircraft will suffer some significant damage. The terrain where you land will affect this greatly. Though the extent of damage has varied from plane to plane, most GA aircraft that have come down under a BRS deployment have eventually (or will soon) fly again.

On a Cirrus you're sacrificing the undercarriage as that is what cushions the impact and the straps are pulled through some bits of composite structure. I'm sure it could be repaired to fly again but the question is whether that's economically viable.
I understand shortening quotes, but now you are saying I said it would be economically viable, and it was from the BRS website. Not the same.
