I do think this goes away from conventional thinking to such an extent that it warrants discussion. As I said Cirrus drivers are a Tiny proportion of the total pilot population who do not have the luxury of pulling a chute but have to rely on their skills or lack of skills in pulling off a forced landing.
So no hard feelings just designed to generate a discussion
And I think an excellent opportunity to discuss the pros and cons, earlier I said my stance and openly expected 95% on this forum would not agree with it, in the Cirrus community there is equally if not more heated debate on when and why to use the the Chute, so it carries a certain amount of controversy as well as old wives tails.

Traditional aircraft have no option and traditional pilots are trained with no other option in mind so there is a strong mindset of do not be a wimp, do not believe the marketing, blah blah the chute is for those without the skill or confidence who got them selves into trouble.
