When landing with a parachute, your descent speed typically decreases significantly compared to freefall, usually around 10 to 20 feet per second (3 to 6 meters per second) during the final landing approach. This speed can vary based on factors such as the type of parachute, the weight of the jumper, and environmental conditions. Parachutists aim for a controlled, gentle landing to minimize the risk of injury. Proper technique and practice can further reduce landing speed.
