In the UK, one can rarely fly legally below 500 ft anyway.

When I flew in the US, where most of our flying was low level, we regularly practised auto-rotations from around 400 ft. I somehow don't remember being dead after any of them. Or did the experience do in my memory, and am I now a flying ghost?
