The question is, how will such a system work? Will it be a sort of "eject" button like system that the pilots have to press?
How high does it need to be for the chutes to deploy and land properly?
If this system is dependent on pilot intervention I doubt it will do any good. Most flight accidents happen suddenly with very little time to act on anything.
The pilot might be thinking, "i'll be able to fix this, just hold out a little longer..." and boom everyone's dead.
I'm all for safety systems but not something that will work 10% of the time. Ounce of prevention better than a pound of cure.
