Ballistic Parachute in an RV-8A?

Anyone tried it? It seems like the forward luggage compartment might work?

(Back story: Mary and I were talking about safety enhancements, on a 2 hour flight today, and how much safer flying is thanks to things like synthetic vision, highway in the sky approaches, on-board weather, etc. We decided that, after we add vertical navigation to our autopilot, really the last thing left to enhance flight safety would be a full-aircraft parachute system.

The back luggage compartment/turtledeck wouldn't work, due to the sliding canopy, but the front one might.)
