One thing these figures seem to say is that 50% of SR20 accidents are
fatal, but only 10% of 172 accidents are. It is only a bit better if
you compare both Cirrus and Cessna types. The parachute should make
Cirrus accidents more survivable, not less.

What's the SR20's stall speed compared to the C-172? The kinetic
energy expended in a mishap increases exponentially with the square of
the velocity.
