I’ve got tons of time in light GA SE aircraft and if I had the choice I’d never fly one without a parachute again even though I’m really not a fan of Cirrus.
A future airplane purchase would largely be predicated on the cost of fitting a BRS.
You can argue till the cows come home, parachutes (and GPS) have made general aviation safer for the masses even though it’s not a fix for stupid.
