Cirrus credits their parachute system for saving 103 lives since its inception LINK. Unfortunately, we have no such luxury on our Piper Cub or Cessna. General aviation can be much more dangerous than your average airline trip.

You didn't say which Cessna airframe, but BRS has a STC for the C172/182 airframes. The one for the 172 uses most of the components found in the Cirrus.
