parachute ?? No thanks ...

A ballistic parachute might work if you forget to monitor rotor RPM, but that would be the only time I would ever see a need for it. We have the benefit of autorotation that seized-wing guys don't have. Utilizing a parachute would take control away from the pilot, leaving you to the whims of the winds and fate.

Cheers
