It all depends at the height in which you fall, the surface in which you land, and the position in which your body lands. There has been a case in which a skydiver hit the ground when his parachute did not deploy and he survived. Though his body had massive trauma which he will live with.

Recently this summer, British stuntman Gary Connery completed the first intentional skydive from a helicopter using a wingsuit and landed in an enormous long pile of cardboard boxes. He did this successfully without sustaining any injuries.

Will changing the weight of a parachute effect on the speed?

Changing the weight of a parachute will affect its descent speed. A heavier parachute will fall faster while a lighter parachute will fall more slowly. This is because the weight influences the drag force acting on the parachute during descent.


Who would fall faster at a short distance small parachute or large?

a small parachute becouse it has less air ressitance meaning it traps less air than a big parachute.

How long is the longest fall?

The longest free fall without a parachute is recorded at 38,969 feet (11,335 meters) by Vesna Vulović in 1972, after her plane exploded over Czechoslovakia. She survived the fall, which remains a remarkable feat of human resilience. However, the longest fall with a parachute is generally calculated from the jump altitude to the landing, which can vary significantly based on the jump and conditions.


Does a parachute fall quicker with a heavy or light weight?

A heavy weight will cause the parachute to fall at a faster rate than a light weight due to gravity's pull. The air resistance provided by the parachute will slow down the descent of both heavy and light weights.


How many kinds of skydiving is there?
