I flew jumpers some time ago, I was somehow paid and using dip tanks when refuelling (Never trusted those Cessna or Beech-18 Mickey mouse fuel gauges)
Part of the brief given was:
"Your parachute is just an excess luggage below 500 feet"

You can probably lower that number to 200 feet, reserve chutes are pretty efficient now.
