In this incident near Hawaii, a Cirrus SR22 had fuel problems and deployed its airframe parachute.
My question is why did the pilot deploy the parachute rather than perform a "normal" ditching procedure in the ocean?
For reference, here's the video.

Clarification on who or what did what, and removed a presumption causal relationship.
