Perhaps do not activate at a low altitude.
In its proper regime it is necessary and helpful. Inappropriately activated it exacerbates the emergency.
Or... instead of powdering the 50 year old pig, to make it 21st century efficient, use a newer airframe design (757), or design and build a totally new one, that doesn’t rely on a bunch of Rube Goldberg add ons, to be safe......next years profit sharing and executive bonuses be damned.
