The dark question is, - does perceived and added safety features, push individuals into ever more risk. I think yes, however, those indivuduals may have gone there anyway, safety feature or not.
Maybe it does, the example of flying at night, some would feel safer with a chute and therefore choose to fly at night which is riskier than day. Or flying over Mountains and Hostile terrain, I do this and would prefer to have a Chute, would I do it in an aircraft without one? not sure to be honest.

I personally do not think it increase the risk profile significantly of most Cirrus Pilots That I personally know, like wise having ABS breaks and Air Bags in my car does not make me take more risks in my car
