That is comforting. You crash in a Cirrus but sustain
life-threatening injuries. So no one can assist until Cirrus is

die.

I have a friend who is a sergeant with the NY State Police. Three and a
half years ago he was the first responder to the fatal Cirrus spin crash
here in Central NY.

He told me was that the police and rescue squad were all warned to remain
clear of the aircraft because of the explosive device used to launch the
parachute. He also added that it was obvious from the state of the bodies
that they were not there to save the pilots lives.
