From what I have read the ballistic chute has never gone off due to a crash,
they were always pulled by an occupant.


Perhaps. But I would be interested in knowing how BRS has managed to
fireproof the explosive charge that deploys their 'chute against
ignition from a fire that almost totally consumes the plastic
aircraft.
