If in freefall:
- Put on a wingsuit. This can reduce the downward speed from 120mph to 30/40mph. But this does greatly increase forward speed.
- Wear a baggy jumpsuit made of cordura. This can take 20mph of the freefall speed and is useful for instructors who are jumping with lightweight students.
- De-arch the body to become less aerodynamic. This can take around 10 to 20mph of the freefall speed.
If the parachute has opened:
- Pull down on the steering toggles a little to reduce the angle of attack. If pulled down too much however, this can cause the canopy to collapse.
- You can also pull down on the rear risers (where the suspension lines are connected to). This does the same thing.

Why do you fall at a steady speed before parachuting?
Before parachuting, you fall at a steady speed due to the force of gravity pulling you towards the ground. This speed is reached when the force of gravity is balanced by the air resistance acting on your body, creating a state of dynamic equilibrium known as terminal velocity.
What is the difference between free fall and static line parachute jumps?
In free fall parachuting, the jumper exits the aircraft on their own and experiences a period of free fall before deploying the parachute. In static line parachuting, the parachute is deployed automatically upon exiting the aircraft due to a cord (static line) connected to the aircraft.
What height do you have to be to go parachuting?
Static line parachuting takes place from around 4000ft. As you fall from the aircraft, the parachute opens automatically. To go skydiving (i.e. freefalling through the sky with a packed parachute on your back), you typically jump from between 10,000ft to 15,000ft. You can get up to 1 minute in freefall, or significantly longer with a wingsuit.

How are parachutes used in air?
Parachuting goes way back, but actual parachuting in the US went back to about 1912. However, early patachutes did not fair well as they were not reliable and did not always open. In the 1930's parachuting deployment improved. The purpose of a parachute is to slow the decent of an object as with a person, supplies or bomb. The drag caused by an open parachute creates a slow descent, allowing the parachuted object to land safely. Without a parachute an object can fall at the rate of 32 feet per second.
