Personally, I'd prefer to try escaping a Cirrus coming down on a 'chute in a strong wind - than trying to avoid one coming down at 100kts or more towards me, in a conventional style of crash landing.
1700fpm descent is 31kmh (19.3mph) - and even with a 30kmh wind at ground level (that's pretty breezy), the descent is going to be around an angle of 45 degrees, and probably still less than 40kmh travel speed.
In case no-one noticed in the news reports, there were a group of people gathered for a "home open" real estate inspection, who all scattered when they sighted this Cirrus coming down. No-one has reported being hit by it.
They did report that they were unsure of exactly where it was going to land.
However, they also had time to vacate the LZ because of the relatively low landing speed.
