I've seen a big red roo jump an airfield boundary fence and hang on to the tail of a Qantas aircraft on climb out, and the roo didn't fall off. !!!
Unbelievable. .

If I had a BRS fitted and had a structural failure I would activate it without hesitation however, if the aircraft was flyable but had engine failure I would avoid using it unless the landing appeared to be extremely hazardous and life threatening.
