The report I heard said the plane had just taken off and was only about 200 feet off the ground when an engine failed.

I’m sure that was the intent. But you have to get to altitude first.

I see you don’t sky dive much?

You need a bit of air between you and the ground, the plane crashed on takeoff. The other 60 seconds of most dangerous time to be in an aircraft. Landing being the other.

800 feet to survive a freefall opening, if the door is open.
