'If proper training, and your demonstrating your skills don't reassure you that a BRS is redundant, you should reassess you commitment to wanting to fly.'
I don't agree with this statement, good training and constant practice do not protect you from freak events such as structural failiure, incapacitation by bird strike or mid air collision (where you were following correct procedure and the other pilot wasn't).
I appreciate these events may be statistically improbable and I may yet decide to accept the risk, however I don't feel you can categorically say training can protect you from every eventuality and presumably part of being a good pilot is assessing risk and deciding the best course of action. In essence, thats what I'm trying to do here, there may be a minimal risk, but if possible I would like to reduce it even further!
Presumably enough people must be worried enough about events such as these, otherwise Cirrus planes wouldn't be so popular?
