I think a parachute would be pretty easy to accommodate, at least an emergency one. Maybe it'll still hurt, but cut the pack loose and hopefully you would survive. Not everyone survives helicopter or plane engine failures either.
I certainly don't think jetpacks are a relevant tool for society outside of really niche use cases. If we don't even trust people to fly small drones around the public safely and without FAA regulation and licensing, in what dreamland would we all be able to fly personal jetpacks to the shops, or even recreationally? There are way cheaper, way safer ways to get airbourne as a private aviation enthusiast, so I can see why jetpacks really don't scratch enough itches to have gained popularity.
Parachutes have a minimum altitude, and jetpacks really do not push people into flying high. (What is a problem in more ways than that, because most of the things that can make your flight safer need altitude.)
