No, it wouldn’t.

In this event the BRS folks determined that the system was deployed above 133kts IAS.

In this event, this year, a witness reported that nearly 6 minutes after the impact of the aircraft, an empty parachute could be seen descending through the clouds.

The event database includes a couple of ‘on ground’ deployments attributable to nearby storms and static electricity.
