This Remos 15th June 2012, I pilot fatality, had a BRS
ERA12FA395
The ballistic parachute system parachute was not activated and found strewn along the debris path.
The activation handle was found in the main wreckage secured with a padlock. 
The key for the padlock was found on a key ring
An effing Padlock !!, in the Cirrus we have a pull pin, mine is allways removed before flight and the handle active, others Cirrus pilots refer to leave theirs in, one Cirrus fatality was found with the handle bent and the pin in !! , what a waste.
