I'm still not convinced these parachute solutions will work in a real emergency situation.
If you look the video the parachute is released a second after the "incident" - in most panic situations you wouldn't even have the time to react before it hits the ground, especially when getting outa control in forward flights.
Radio loss, battery/power failure are some of the most common - but not covered by the system.
It also adds more weight, making it head heavy and you need to find a place to mount it.
Plus there's also a chance to accidently release the chute...
