Is jumping from a plane risky enough without using a chute riddled with holes assuming parachutists dont have holes in their heads whats the reason for the holes in the chutes?

It would seem sensible that parachutes shouldn't even leak air-- but then the air will spill out of one side or another and the parachute will oscillate wildly and be uncontollable. This is what happens. In fact the parachute will fall at a faster rate with NO HOLES. It was found that letting the air out of a center hole "California Blow-hole" improved the performance and handling, and soon it was discovered that letting some air spill out the rear gave the parachutist some directional control. The Russian "Paracommanders" employed a variety of slots and openings to give far greater forward speeds in the 1960's. Followed Rogallo Parawings and then by early "ram-inflated wings" which operate like gliders. None of these were linear developments, many people contributed to the art and science over many years.

Is it possible for a human being to jump again if he is still in air?
No because double jumping is only in video games Not without something to push against. I suppose two parachutists could jump together and one could jump from the others shoulders or hands, but without something to push against, you are just jerking around in the air.
