42 Cirrus aircraft accidents in five years.
14 in 2005.
11 of 14 were model 22's, of of which was a G2.
3 of 14 were model 20's.
4 of 14 flights were fatal.

With all the Cirrus accidents, it seems they've started including
additional safety features in addition to the airframe parachute
system:

Terrain Awareness
TAWS (Terrain Awareness Warning System), now a standard
installation on all CIRRUS SRV, SR20 and SR22 aircraft, helps keep
you clear of terrain and obstacles.

Airbag Seatbelts
AmSafe Aviation™ airbag seatbelt restraints are now part of the
new SAFETY COMES STANDARD installation program at CIRRUS.
CIRRUS includes the airbags to help ensure greater protection for
the pilot and front-seat passenger in the event of an incident.
