Was the altitude the bailout or chute opening
altitude? Perhaps a better question is:

If I gave you a 2-22 and asked you to bail out solo,
how low would you do it?

Weeeell, after you gave me the $10k in cash I expect I'd get a tow to
5000 ft or more...

You make some good points.

And I note that although I spend quite a lot of time flying at more than
2000 feet above the airfield, I probably don't spend very much of it
more than 2000 ft above the *terrain*. Which is what counts for
parachute opening.
