My point was I don't think it's a great idea to be so cavalier about low altitude spins. The 500' cylinder encourages an aggressive, ballistic pull up to reach the finish altitude for pilots on a marginal glide. The gate doesn't - you just land. The fact that someone got away with a spin at 400' is not a confidence-builder for me. 9B The answer to that problem is simple, it's the start scenario in reverse. Any pilot flying below the minimum finish height is recorded as a landout at that point. There is now absolutely no point in pulling up to 500ft.
