I think we need to consider the idea that the forced landing would (probably) not be an issue if another part of the Cirrus hadn't failed. I'd prefer to use MY limited sills to get me down rather than rely on those of a company who have produced a product that has already failed and got me in the pickle that makes the choice seem so urgent.
Ejecting, or using a BRS, is not a guaranteed "walk away with no issues" type of solution.
I think the pilot in this particular incident did the right thing, for him, and I also think that if in the best part of 2,000 hours he's not mastered the forced landing, perhaps he should stick to BRS equipped aircraft. Or cars.
