Geez.  Tongue in cheek guys.  Don't get mad 24th STS!  Are USMC pilots just sadistic or do these boys seem to be fast roping alot closer to the ground than is standard?  Assuming the roper is 6ft tall, the helicopter has to be no more than 20 feet off the ground.  A little lower and you could just jump out.
