Also a Cirrus I went in the other day must be flown gently on to the runway in this way otherwise there will be a tail strike.
If you land a Cirrus in the correct configuration (100% flaps) you are very unlikely to have a tail strike.

The big problem is people landing them to fast when they either float for ages or bounce. If the pilot then slams the throttle open to go around, the torque from the engine (especially on an SR22) can cause you to lose directional control. There have been several accidents caused by this.

Recommended best practice when landing with full flaps and no significant crosswind (for an SR22) is 80 KTS on final, 75 - 77 over the fence and hold it off and wait for the stall horn (59) on landing.
