Hi Wladimir,

a Europa with a BRS does exist in the Netherlands. AFAIK it is the PH-GOO XS TG
914: https://luchtvaartregister.silk.co/page/PH-GOO
The attachment of the system is the spar and the engine mounting frame.

I'm wearing emergency parachutes in the Europa since you can escape quite easily
through the doors, which most likely depart the aircraft, when opened in flight.
After bailing out they open automatically down to a hight of 350ft. Weight
penalty is about 4,5 kg each.

There are some scenarios thinkable like a fire/smoke at higher altitude, a 
midair,
loss of control (e. g. in IMC), severe icing, structural failure (e. g. due
to turbulence)... where a chute will possibly save you.

Regards
Roland
