I can see where a not proficient instrument pilot knowing he has a chute might push on into conditions which are worse than his abilities thinking he has a way out if it all goes pear shaped.
In the same way as a cautious night SEP pilot I would be more inclined to fly at night simply through the fact that the chute was there! Without any shadow of a doubt I would fly more at night with the chute rather than in a conventional aircraft!
That is not against the Cirrus or the chute just stating a fact which we all need to be aware of.
Accidents will increase because of the chute while lives will be saved because of the chute!
