More than one in one hundred Cirrus aircraft to leave the factory have been lost in a FATAL accident.

There are very complex factors behind that, but the truth is undeniable.

There have been a total of 55 Cirrus Fatal accidents since production started of the SR, Fatal No 55 was an Accident that occurred Friday, September 11, 2009 in Rock Hill, SC, USA

Pilot appeared to lose control or turn back on take off and impact the runway at a very high speed resulting in a fire and death of Pilot Skipper Beck.

Preliminary NTSB report ERA09FA515


The original poster asked about the safety of this type of aircraft and I hope he has gained some facts to make a rational decision, there is so much misinformation.
