Hi I have a Galaxy Ballistic Chute GRS 5/450 fitted to my KR2, see http://athertonairport.com.au/kr2/grs_ballistic_chute.htm and Information on it can be seen on http://www.galaxysky.cz .
Having had one accident and not using it I don't think I would fit one again as it only protects you for a major structural failure or a mid air collision (if you survive long enough to pull the chute cable). My accident was an engine out and I tried to land in a paddock which resulted in significant damage.

I may install the 1050 softpack with a 24 lb weight penalty depending on my max gross once the plane is done. Cheap insurance if you ask me. My guess is most people would feel it's a waste of time and money but if you ever have a need to use it. Well nuf said.
