There has been a lot of discussion on the Cirrus Owners website regarding recent accidents and wether or not they are related to the safety of the Cirrus. I have owned an SR22 since August and love the plane, so I'm not unbiased, but as a reference, in 2004 there were 20 fatal accidents in 182's vs 3 fatal accidents in Cirrus. I have no statistics on the hours flown in each type. About a million to one difference. As far as statistics go every Cirrus crash is a bad deal because there's so few of them out there compared to 182's. Every wreck has a definite movement of the stats. One 182 wreck doesn't move the stats at all.
