If memory serves me, the Cypress unit fires at 750 feet. This is typically 3 seconds before impact in a belly down position at terminal velocity. Things will get messy if the thing fires whilst in the aircraft. Hense why we descend carefully with jumpers aboard.

Maybe not smoke coming from the falling plane but fuel escaping from the ruptured wing
