Honestly this doesn't sound that terrible as the equivalent of an emergency ejection seat.
Developed to the point of reliability it probably would be a nice option for a few things. Like space stations don't have room for much, but this is small and low enough mass to boost up a few and have stowed.
Imagine a medical emergency, no recovery rocket available or no time. Less an issue nowdays rockets are getting more numerous and cheaper but that wasn't a given. Your choices are die in space or probably live. The foam might even help stabilise any splinted limbs or whatever.
Shame on NASA for their cowardice!
