The biggest trap here is not to just blatantly pop the chute because it is there!

The manufacturer is trying to sell airframes. It is a powerful marketing tool.
The chute is not a get out of gaol free card.

It is just another tool at the pilots' disposal. At the end of the day, the PIC must decide on what they feel is the safest course of action.
