The wing snaps off and as the plane begins to roll the parachute deploys.

That had to have been a long ride down looking straight at the ground!

But, better than the alternative...

Very fast reaction time, is that a 300 extra? I thought they could take quite a few G's.

I want to know what other aircraft other than the cirrus come with chutes. For aero birds it seems like a great idea.

I believe it's a Rans S-9 Chaos......a kitplane. It's stressed to +6, -4 if I recall correctly.

If you dig around for a bit (if you're bored lol) you can find that there is a few companies make parachutes for experimental/kit planes. www.brsparachutes.com is one that makes them for experimental, LSA's, and specific companies like Cessna, Diamond, Cirrus, etc...
