Parachute Safety Assessment

In a 2015 Air Commodities 'Safety Assessment Report For Emergency Escape Parachutes', which cover types GQ1000 and GQ5000 it states that, "All parachutes have a 500ft minimum operating altitude". If that is the case how is it possible to use these 'chutes with zero/zero MB seats, when the maximum altitude achievable from a ground level ejection is only around 300ft, with rocket assistance?
