If the plane is designed to take a BRS then there is a good chance that after some (admittedly costly) repairs it will take to the air again.

A 172 or similar that has been retrofitted with a BRS? Yeah, not so much.

It seems that, at least until fairly recently, most Cirrus aircraft that used their parachute were written off, and that is still the most likely outcome.
