A spokesperson from the FAA told TechCrunch in an emailed statement that the company’s request was not granted at this time “due to the overall safety, risk and impact analysis.”

That could mean so many different things.

Could just explicitly mean impact analysis, like we’re not cool with what happens if the parachute burns up or fails to deploy.

Yep, definitely an option. I guess I’m just confused as to why this is just now a problem and they didn’t have a plan from the beginning. Or if they did, what changed?

Right? Like was the kickstarter only partially funded ;-)
