Einige Ariane-5-Trägerraketen verfügten über Fallschirme und wurden geborgen, allerdings nur, um ihren Zustand zu untersuchen, und wurden nie wiederverwendet.
Wow, I’m working in an Ariane 6 supplier factory and didn’t even know that, thanks ! Not sure if they actually pursued with the boosters recovery though.

Reusing of Solid Rocket Boosters (SRBs) is a problematic matter.
Because the most expensive part of it – fuel itself, while hull, nozzle and auxiliary parts are significantly less expensive.
With liquid fuel first stages/boosters it actually has economical sense.
