Unless there is also a plugin for EVA parachutes, or you do this on Jool, you will instantly die on impact...

Kerbals have died for far less....

It does not count for this challenge, but redstar co op has an ejector seat for planes with a built in parachute. (But the kernel does not actually jump out)

Not true, I jumped from 37 km from a rocket and I survive after a bounce or two but I did RCS thrust downward the whole time. I swore I took screenshots but sadly I must of hit F2 or something. I can try to replicate it but it be a rocket instead of a balloon.

EDIT: Did it from the balloon uploading gallery now

There is bug where the space kraken saves kerbals from potentially death-causing aldeals.
