The lowest parachute jump on record is believed to be from 250 feet (76 meters) above the ground. This type of jump is extremely risky due to the limited time available for the parachute to fully deploy and slow down the jumper before they hit the ground. It is highly discouraged and not a standard practice in skydiving.
Jump with parachute is safe.

The first recorded parachute jump took place in 1797. It was made by André-Jacques Garnerin, who descended from a balloon at an altitude of about 3,200 feet using a parachute he designed himself. This jump marked a significant milestone in the history of aviation and parachuting.
Capt Joseph Kittinger of the US Air Force jumped from a helium balloon at 102,800 feet. His parachute deployed somewhere around 15,000 feet - roughly the height that skydivers normally jump from.
