The NTSB said it has documented multiple accidents in which first responders worked near wreckage with an undeployed parachute rocket on scene. The alert lists examples including a 2025 Cirrus SR22 crash in Georgia in which the agency said a BPRS rocket activated several minutes after impact while first responders were nearby.
