There is an air cargo outfit here that flys mostly swearingens. I posted a thread here a while back following one of them threading severe storms to get home.  

They fly them hot here too. Its pretty interesting to watch.

You can see the chute and risers off the right side of the plane.

How many of those have been used in real inflight emergencies?

Would love to see what that plane looked like (as in if it would have been a for sure fatal had the chute not been deployed).

Wow on both counts.
One plane loses 3/4s of the rear of the airframe and stays intact, the other one just so happens to have an emergency chute.

Everybody involved needs new underwear and lottery tickets.

The wikipedia page says there have been 122 parachute deployments, 101 were successful, and of all the people on the Cirrus planes, one fatality when CAPS was deployed.  Kind of impressive except for that part about 21 possibly failed deployments.

Back in the 90's, NASA was working to make general aviation much "smarter" and safer. But .GOV bullshit and industry apathy let it die on the vine.
The AGATE system would have made this accident nearly impossible.

I was mentored early in my engineering career by one of the Metro designers.  Really good fellow - 100% Texan with a ranch and everything.  Those long legged landing gear are all his design.
