Airframe parachute on commercial airlines My question, would a multi-deployment airframe parachute system be viable on a commercial airline? For example, Grumman &amp; Cirrus already use this system.

As with the automobile industries, they were found to be culpable of many road deaths prior to implementation of seatbelts (refused by all the automakers at the time), so is it the airlines' responsibility for not making flight safe enough when the technology is there to implement?

You cannot buy a new car without it having airbags, why not airframe parachute on every new plane as a standard?
Cirrus builds very small planes that fly at a very low altitude and at very small speeds, hence the parachutes (CAPS) can be used.
General aviation aircraft are HUGE, BULKY and designed to fly at very high mach numbers. They are not designed to "withhold spin" as required by the CAPS. 


Moreover, if this was possible, this would already be in action, because an Automobile accident is not much of a Headache for auto companies, but an Aviation disaster is for sure a PR nightmare for an Aviation Company.
