The only time you will get the true safety advantage of the chute showing through is when all the pilots plan and operate as if it isn't in the back.
MJ many a Cirrus Pilot has persihed with a perfectly good chute still intact and not used.

Not sure if they felt they could deal with the situation, forgot it was there, had the Pin in and could not remove it in time or simply unaware of it as a viable option.

And why should we plan to operate as if it is not there, in Pace's example that he would fly at night because it has a chute, compared to not with out a chute in a SEP, what is wrong with that?
