Colorado Springs pilot force lands Cirrus SR22 on mountainous terrain
Russ Ford and his wife Sheri were flying their Cirrus SR-22 single-engine plane over the remote Flat Tops Wilderness Area near Meeker, CO, on Saturday when he says the engine cut out. They were at about 12,000 feet over rough terrain and Russ had to make a quick decision; whether or not to deploy the plane's emergency parachute, which is designed to bring the entire plane safely to the ground.

Another SR22 engine failure. What's up with these things?
Made in China?....LOL
Way to go!
Arm chair comment but if he landed into the wind why not pull the chute following touchdown to assist in slowing it down and maybe preventing it from going over the cliff?
Because if there is any wind it could catch the chute and pull the plane over the cliff.
What's up (or down) with all these SR22 mishaps?
