Trust me; thats a 709 ride. The FAA will reexamine the pilot to confirm they meet the requirements of license issuance. I have some insight into the process. The FAA will also investigate recent Flight Reviews etc. Not going to be a good day for the Cirrus driver.
Pulling the 'chute sounds like a good idea; but CAPS is only certified above 5-600' depending on the model..:-)
