Parachutes actually increase the number of crashes, since instead of attempting a landing, the plane hits the ground.
Parachutes increase the cost of ownership, as they have to be replaced every 10 years or so.
A lot of the people buying Cirrus airplanes are taking off into marginal weather and just assume the parachute will save them when their luck runs out.
