Irrelevant, IMHO, as to the subject of this thread. If the pilot is too
proud to pull it, the safety feature of the parachute means nothing. Just
like seatbelts. If you don't use them, they don't have a chance of
working.


But if you don't use them they cannot fail. It is the same with the
parachute.


Right. And it is my understanding, that the SR-22's parachute system
was installed solely to provide a means of spin recovery that was
otherwise unavailable in this aircraft.
