those guys are starting at 5,000 feet indicated or lower, which seems
insane. I'd think you'd want to start at 8,000 or 9,000 just for safety in
case things don't go as planned. (cockpit object falls under the rudder
pedal or something)

You might as well start thinking like a GOOD instructor right now :-)

There should be NO "cockpit object" in the airplane with you in an
aircraft you have prepared properly for giving dual in spins,ready to
"fall under the rudder pedal or something".

This of course is the right answer :-)) Altitude on the other hand, is
also the right answer.
