If you stare into the cockpit of most cirrus you will see some boring old fart well into his 40s if not 50s
Damn, that's me !!

and some will pull when perhaps they shouldnt, but you and me will forget we have a chute until we realise we really need it, and then we will pull,
I am not aware of much evidence of chute pulls when they should not, I am sure there must be a few but do you have any examples?

I think for virtually all pilots (including me) the natural instinct is to try and save the day, not have the stigma of pulling the chute and admitting failure, wrestle it to the ground, not write off the ship, see if things improve on the way down, Plus do what we were virtually all trained to do and land in a field, all these thoughts prevent chute pulls plus simply forgetting in the heat of the moment and using it when really needed.
