DO, it was the V tail Bonanza, which got the tag of Doctor Killer. A great deal of myth, but basically, yes, well heeled individuals, jumping into a fast aeroplane, which required training and understanding, with a cruise pretty close to Vne. Put the nose down, and well, it broke up.
Stories of guys running into VMC, and stuffing the nose down, the usual stuff.......
Later models had a mod, strengthening the ruddervator area, however, this was a mod, and the original issue of high speed, slick airframe, still holds. Speed management skills, and a good understanding of its capabilities, a much required pre-requisite on this aeroplane.
No, I do not think Cirrus owners are 'different', i just think the mentality of 'what can go wrong with this thing', is perhaps an issue.
