Default How LOW can you GO?

Just picked up my parachute after a re-rig and jokingly asked if these things actually work. The folks at Strong Parachute told me about this accident a couple of weeks ago in England. Looks like this guy was pretty low when he decided to get out. Probably had a full open canopy below 100 feet or so. Looks like another save for the people at Strong. I have this same canopy but in a different container. Be nice to your rigger.
