John,
No, I haven't received any special instructions about deploying the
chute. The handle is between the seats, and there is a checklist item
to remove the safety pin, but we just leave the pin out all the time
anyway. It takes a 30-pound pull to deploy the chute, so it is pretty
unlikely that we would accidentally deploy it. Unless the instructor
was incapacitated, I would defer to him to deploy it.

Not really on point but an interesting look at BRS.

Horrible. I hope the pilot wasn't hurt too badly.
