You obviously haven’t been to flight school. Altitude is safety. Once you were high enough up to kill you and or whatever you land on, further height doesn’t make you any more dead, but it does give you more time to work the problem.

This thing in particular has a parachute. I bet from 300 feet it doesnt have time to save you or let you glide to a spot without people under you, but from 3,000 feet it would.
