Cirrus Lands via Parachute in Nantucket

Apparently a Cirrus was attempting to land ACK VFR last night when they ran into weather (fog and low visibility after sunset on the island are common in the summer). They pulled the Ballistic Recovery System parachute about 5 miles northeast of ACK. Wouldn't it have been easier to just turn around? That's what I was thinking. There is either much more to this story or this was one dumb pilot. I'm hoping it is the former. He is alive so he's not to dumb. He has money so who cares about the plane. Matt
