Default Parachute recovery system - does it exist?

Hi.

After witnessing nearly a crash a day at my local field and noticing a reference to a parachute in another thread, I am wondering if there is a parachute recovery system available? After researching the recovery system for full size planes [link=http://www.brsparachutes.com/default.aspx]http://www.brsparachutes.com/default.aspx[/link] , it looks like it could be made with a small toy rocket and a parachute.

I've seen a video [link=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtIL_VjBUGo]X1 rocket video with B-29[/link] in which a X1 plane is released from a B29 and then a rocket is ignited and it shoots up into the sky. So there is a way to make to the rocket part work.
