I am wondering what everyone's thoughts are on the certified BRS Parachute for a 172 or 182. I've seen their website, but was wondering if anyone has likes/dislikes about the way it must be installed, the added weight, or anything else about it? How do you get one installed? Have it shipped, and installed locally?

To me it just seems like a huge peace of mind - not as a replacement for proper emergency procedures and pilot skill, but a last resort that could potentially save the lives of everyone onboard.

What does everyone else think?
