The issue is coming up with a way for a personal BRS product. BRS has
saves as low as 50 feet http://brsparachutes.com/lives_saved.aspx
So that makes it a matter of getting off the ground and then up to a
"safe" altitude...

I understand there a minimum height where a parachute won't deploy. I
imagine if you're 200 feet above ground or water and you fall off of
that thing you're in a lot of trouble.

Only if you want to survive the fall. They’re saying it’ll get up
to 10,000’ though. I’m no aerospace engineer, but I’m pretty sure
at 10,000’ your hovercraft doesn’t care what’s directly underneath
you anymore.
