You will probably come out the worst afterall the Cirrus will pull its CAPS and walk away....
This attitude makes Cirrus drivers and their BRS chutes look remarkably similar to Volvo drivers and their wannabe tanks.

The whole SIPS (side impact protection system) nonsense was promoted by Volvo and aimed at drivers who wanted technology to make up for their own lack of observational skills and ability, and to still have the best chance of walking away from the accident that they just caused by pulling out of a side road into traffic.

-"So what if I can't keep on top of my fast plane? Why bother to look out of the windows when I've got a couple of nice telly screens to look at and a nice computer voice to listen to? If I should run into someone else, well, I'll just pull my little red handle & I'll be all right Jack".
