Don’t most planes fly higher than that?

If you free fall from much more than that, and a lot of times even just that much, it won’t matter. The interior will fall apart and you’ll die.

It’s FAA SOP of “pushing the envelope”. All planes get drop-tested from 15 feet. The object is not so much to simulate a crash as it is to simulate a rough landing. I know because my cousin is building planes and has to go through the same process.

They are just testing to see if it makes it to the ground. Apparently it did. :-)

That ain’t even a HARD landing!

Well, at some point before it crashes, every plane will be at fifteen feet...
