The debate about random forced landings is relatively far down the list of incidents with cirrus. Incompetency is far higher.
I may not disagree with that other than I would say applies equally across GA and Cirrus is no better or worse than other similar makes.

This post is about a specific chute pull and claiming a traditional forced landing should have been carried out on what some claim to be a perfectly good surface.

Based on your earlier comment
And having done hundreds of pfl' s as an instructor I wouldn't think twice about not pulling it.
Based on your opinion and reluctance to use this technology I was interested in how many forced landing out of 100 you personally think would be survivable by yourself in a Cirrus over average UK terrain?
