BPF, you are spot on. I guess, I have not written may point in the best possible manner. What I wanted to say is, that if you compare the Cirrus to other airplanes used in an identical manner, there is no reason (from the statistics) to believe, that the Cirrus is worse with regard to safety.
You are absolutely right: to compare accident statistics you have to riskadjust them, otherwise they are meningless.
