My co worker was flying over to Hawaii ( corporate jet) and assisted a pilot needing a communication relay that he was going to ditch. The pilot was ferrying a Cirrus.
Many different YouTube posts, here’s one.

The airframe parachute system is terrific. Running our of fuel should be avoidable with proper planning. An engine failure, on the other hand, is just a risk you have to take. Happy ending for everyone, including the aircraft owner, assuming it was insured.
