   RC, BRS are a complicated and expensive install on SeaReys, so most dealers and owners rationalize you don't need them for that and different reasons. No A/C recovery system is guaranteed but BRS has recorded saves as low as 100 feet but (don't count on it).

    Now, the sliding canopy....seems to me a twisted or warped airframe as a result of a wheels down landing could prevent a sliding canopy from opening also.

    Helen, I enjoy your posts, but your dealership ambitions are beginning to surface.

Bob,

Thanks for the info on what altitude is needed for BRS deployment.....I thought that might be the case but wasn't sure so I didn't make that point to Helen.

Wellll.... BRS's only need 250-300 feet to deploy.
