The best way to get back on earth safely with a chute is to land it gently with it under your butt.. seated in your cockpit.
Once you start to rely on it, unpredictable things can be. just remind that war stories are narrated by the livings... not by the dead.
SO 100% of story about pilot hitting the silk are are the ones were the chute did open successfully (low G, speed relevant, safe alt, good opening etc...).
