Re: They had their first save on a full-sized plane recently.
If they aren't strapped in all the time, they're being idiots. I never take off my seat belt and shoulder harness when flying. I've hit turbulence too many times without any warning and don't like the idea of being rattled around like a rock in a can. Even if they weren't strapped in before activation, they'd probably be better off with the parachute than an out of control landing. The BRS chutes are intended for extreme emergencies like control failure or structural damage, although they'd probably be a good idea in an engine failure at night situation.
