There has to be a big difference between a forced landing at 30kt and at 60kt - these representing the typical Vs of the two categories discussed here.

Even at the same MTOW that's a 4x difference in energy to be dissipated.
(1) Something's gone wrong
(2) Pull Handle
I think the current Cirrus-focused training is basically that i.e. you have it so use it.

The fact that most chute pulls to date appear to have been in situations which ought to have been recoverable conventionally will keep pilot forums busy for a long time
