There are a few GA winged aircraft that employ a parachute.
Among them the vaulted SR-22 and the versatile ICON A-5 (which i think changed ownership recently):

So why not helicopters?

Should be easy to stick one on top of a mast.
There would need to be an anti-tangle plus anti-spin element added.
They do it with heavy radar on a few models (the Mil version of civie Jet Ranger for one)
