Marketing and the Cirrus Sales Pitch

I don't think that the sales numbers would suffer from the inclusion of
traditional spin recovery techniques. Perhaps I'm a real oddball type of
pilot, but I am not impressed by the 'chute, given the injuries and deaths
that have resulted from its use.

Are you aware of any fatal accidents where the chute was deployed at sufficient
altitude for proper opening?

So, now you want to qualify the conditions of its use? ;-)

I almost excluded the "...deaths..." part when I wrote my opinion, but
then I figured that if the plane is capable of spin recovery, it could
possibly do so below the altitude that the 'chute would work. If so, then
those moments would be better spent trying to recover from the spin.
