And idea how many of those Cirrus and Cessna 172 accidents involved
fatalities?

A quick look at the NTSB database reveals 85 fatalities for Cessna 172s since
January 1, 2008, and 48 fatalities for Cirrus SR-22s since that same date.

There are 26,163 Cessna 172s registered currently, and 3,746 Cirrus SR-22s.

The fatality rate during this period on a per-aircraft basis is therefore
0.00324 for Cessna 172s and 0.01281 for Cirrus SR-22s. The rate for the SR-22s
is thus nearly four times higher than that for Cessna 172s.

Now, if you are convinced that 23,000 Cessna 172s are idle and only 3000 or so
are flying, and/or that all Ciruss SR-22s are flying, you're going to have to
show data to support this--otherwise it is pure and misleading speculation.
Just glancing at aircraft at the local airport won't do.
