I wonder if a parachute will do much good if you are stalled/spinning;
I'm thinking it would only twist itself up, and never deploy fully.
Spin chutes are a routine part of flight testing of airplanes in case
the
airplane is found to have unrecoverable spin characteristics.

I stand corrected.
I was thinking of those large parachutes that can carry the whole plane.
Actually, the Cirrus parachute was desiged specifically for deployment
during a spin.
In the Cirrus POH, it states that the only approved way to recover a Cirrus
from a spin is to deploy the parachute.
