I was looking through the FAA AAI site (http://www.faa.gov/data_research/accident_incident/preliminary_data/ http://www.faa.gov/data_research/accident_incident/prelimina...) and apparently there was an incident just a week and half ago involving a Cirrus colliding with a glider tow-rope/tow-plane at 8,000ft (about 2,500ft AGL in Boulder).
This is the first time I'd seen video footage of the Cirrus shoot deployed in a non-simulation environment. Unfortunately only those onboard the glider survived.
