Sure the chute worked as advertised. Great.

What irks me is how and why the aircraft experienced all these
instrument failures one right after another.

The man flew into IMC at 400 feet (I believe he was VFR and had no
instrument rating) and probably became disoriented. His instruments
did not fail. He did.
