Most of us glider pilots would prefer to attempt a field landing rather than to use the BRS.
Gliders are designed to land in fields, tricycle gear aircraft aren’t. Also gliders by their nature don’t carry fuel.

​​​​​​​If I had tried to land I would definitely have ended up inverted with 250 litres of avgas for company.
