An aircraft parachute like the BRS incurs a much lower weight penalty, however the BRS would probably need some adaptation to handle the speed range of aircraft like the G202. It is not impossible to do this, it just requires some engineering.
Good idea. BRS does have a couple of models that can handle G202's speed. And they are fairly reasonably priced. The problem (judging from their web site and specs) is that their high-speed models seem to require internal installation, they are fairly bulky (size of a big suitcase), and I'm not sure if there's any room left inside a G202 to stick in the parachute unit.
