Bristells are equipped with a BRS (Ballistic Rescue System), which is an emergency parachute activated by a handle in the cockpit. The parachute is deployed using a pyrotechnic device.

To help emergency responders, primarily firefighters, detect the presence of this hazard, we have added markings indicating their respective locations.

Thanks to Sylvain D for the paintwork and the effort.
