Tail chutes are not fitted to production aircraft because of cost.

A BAC 111 was also lost during flight testing through a deep stall.

BA carried out a study with a water sprinkler system in the cabin after the airtours/manchester disaster - although it would save lives it wasn't fitted due cost.

Same as smoke hoods for pax.
