An NTSB safety alert warns first responders that undeployed ballistic parachute rockets can activate after a crash and outlines response steps.

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.
