What is the non-medical layman’s term for the Cranium ? Do these clues HEAD you in the right direction ?
What is the minimum altitude to deploy your parachute?
According to the United States Parachute Association (USPA) the recommended minimum deployment altitude varies depending upon which license is held by the person deploying the parachute. There are four licenses, plus student status. Students will typically deploy at 4000-4500ft AGL (Above Ground Level). Those holding a beginners license which is an "A" must deploy at 3500ft AGL, "B" is 3000ft AGL, "C' and "D" must deploy by 2500ft AGL. The S&TA (Safety/Training Advisor) may waive the minimum deployment altitude for C and D license holders from 2,500 feet down to 2,000 feet for a jump or a series of jumps if necessary. The absolute minimum consider safe to bail out of an aircraft using your reserve parachute on a sport parachute system is 1000ft., this would only be done during an aircraft emergency such as loss of power.In theory and sometimes in practice these altitude advisories aren't followed for various reason, this places greater risk on the person choosing to do so. A sport parachute takes time to open, 400-800ft, that is called snivel and makes the sport more enjoyable because you not being jolted every time you deploy. The lower you deploy, the less time you have to deal with unexpected issues such as line twist. This narrows the window of opportunity to either fix the problem or cut-away and deploy the reserve parachute, which takes about 400ft to deploy and inflate.Other parachutes, such as BASE rigs, are designed differently along with using different packing techniques to open very quickly during sub-terminal falling speeds. I know BASE jumpers who are comfortable jumping off objects 200ft in height. Some people have even jumped using BASE rigs at or around 80-90ft.Military personnel can typically deploy at or around 400ft using a large-round parachute. I was told by a US Army soldier that they practice jumping from helicopters at or around 800ft.Military fighter jets are equipment with an ejection seat and requires no forward speed and or altitude for the pilot to safely eject and have there parachute open. I have watched some video's on Youtube of pilot's ejecting on the ground it's usually during an emergency like fire surrounding the aircraft or losing power immediately after being launched off the flight deck of an aircraft carrier.
