anything to show that that isn't the case please post it.

Either your information is incorrect or the following quote is no
longer correct:

"Avemco, the leading aviation insurance underwriter, has already
recognized the life and property saving potential of the product,
and granted a 10% discount on insurance premiums for those pilots
choosing to fly with the BRS system."

The above is quoted from here:

Also noted on these web pages where Avemco isn't named:

While I can find mention of a 10% discount for a new rating or
certificate on the AVEMCO site I can't find any mention of a
discount for a BRS.

Prolly figure you'll run out of gas because your BRS took up so
much of your payload!

Or crash on takeoff on a hot day because of overloading.

I agree with Both Bertie and Mike on this! BRS is also expensive to
maintain -- something like a mandar=ted 5-year life to replacement.


Well, the biggest problem with them as far as I can see is that it will
lead some to rely on them totally and accept that as a substitute for
acquiring or maintaining their skills. More than one has been popped
just because the guy flew into some cloud or ran out of gas..
