If so, the pilot may have made a grave error. The SR20 incorporates an airframe parachute - i.e., if the engine conks out or some other failure occurs, you simply deploy the parachute and the plane floats down under the canopy (as opposed to becoming a lawn dart).

Wasn't the plane too low to use an airframe parachute?
