Not that useful (Destiny)

Although they have been used to save lives, there are that many emergencies where the system is all that useful. Basically you either don't have wings or the actual pilot is incapcitated. Airplanes fly just fine without an engine and you can usually find a safe place to land. Plus as far as I know most aircraft are too big for such a system to actually work.

It's kind of funny, but many of the aircraft with the most "safety" systems actually have the worst accident track records. Probably because most aircraft accidents are the result of the pilot doing something when he knew better.
