I now fly an aircraft with a ballistic parachute recovery system - not a Cirrus but a Flight Design CTLS.
For me, the issue is not so much encouraging me to "stretch the envelope" as under the EASA Permit to Fly the aircraft is limited to daytime, VFR only (even though I have an IR) but giving me confidence that should I conk out (and I'm 63) while say flying with a grandchild, wife, friend or other non-pilot - part of the safety brief will have been - turn the key off & pull the big red handle!
