In the above video, a pilots propeller hits another aircraft's glider towline which then wraps itself around the prop and engine disabling it.
I'm not a pilot, but this probably would have been fatal if it wasnt for the BRS.
- mikeash 13y agoI don't see why that would have been fatal without a BRS. Shut the engine down (if it's still doing anything after that much abuse) and glide to a landing somewhere.
