- Hi, I'm William Lidwell, and this…is Universal Principles of Design.…In this movie: forgiveness, why to err is human,…but to forgive, design.…In 2010, performing at an air show in El Trebol, Argentina,…acrobatic pilot, Dino Moline, was coming…out of a loop at low altitude…when his RANS S-9 Airplane suffered a catastrophic failure.…One of the wings was ripped off…due to the intense G-forces,…and his plane immediately went into a death spiral.…
Just a few years ago, this type of failure…would have meant certain death.…Fortunately for Moline, his plane…was equipped with a ballistic parachute system…from B.R.S. Aerospace.…Once activated, a chute quickly deploys,…and lets planes float safely to the ground.…Moline, and to date, more than…300 pilots like him, have walked away…from what would have been, otherwise, certain deaths.…When most people see a ballistic parachute…in action, the immediate question they ask is,…why don't all airplanes have these things?…A similar question was asked about the…undo function in software before it was ubiquitous.…
