I think it was very prudent to activate the chute after an in-flight
discovery that you have a neurological problem that leads to blackouts
and physical weakness.

He didn't discover this until the hospital. He just discovered that he
had a blackout, and was a bit weak.

Were it me, I would hope that I would give a bit more thought to the
consequences of pulling the chute.... NOW... vs the alternative (pull it
later, fly it onto a field...). Parachuting a plane onto a fuel farm is
not a very good outcome. However, Cirrus advocates pulling the chute
NOW if there is a problem (specifically a spin) and that's what he did.
I do see that (if the chute has a 130 knot max deployment speed) a
spin could get so developed so quickly that the chute is useless unless
it was pulled immediately. He did what he was (presumably) trained to do.

Nonetheless, I see this as a weakness in the Cirrus, not a strength.

In any case, he had recovered from the unusual attitude. A few moments
reflection would have been prudent; again a weakness of the "pull it
NOW" training that one is reported to receive with the Cirrus.
