If they keep pulling the chute in stupid situations it's going to get a repuation as dangerous, even if it's not. Take for instance the guy that pulled if after having a partial stroke. When he woke up it was going downhill above Vne. The chute held, but the descent rate was such that he broke his back, mainly because he landed on water, with no landing gear to absorb all those forces.
