Well, I have jumped out of quite a few aircraft without a parachute. They were, at those times, parked firmly on the ground.
If you do happen to be sky diving, the use of a properly sized, rigged and packed 'chute will reduce your terminal velocity to a speed that is not, well, terminal. The 'chute increases your aerodynamic drag. Without the 'chute you will reach a speed of approximately 120 mph. Impacting the ground at that speed will not only leave a lasting impression on you, but, also on the ground.

Why do we use parachute while jumping from an airplane?
Because we don't want to die.
What is a use of air resistance?
A parachute.
Can you use parachute fabric on the moon?
There is no air in the moons atmosphere so a parachute would not open.
What objects use air resistance?
a parachute and a glider
What things use air resistance to slow down?
A parachute
Why didn't they use a parachute while landing on the moon?
There's no air
What vehicles do the navy SEALs use?
Pretty much anything that moves. They often use small craft such as zodiacs and speed boats. They are parachute qualified, and often used helicopters for insertion.
How has the use of steel in the car industry changed over time?
air craft
How is it possible to build a model rocket that goes 825 ft into the air for 40-45 seconds without the use of a paracute?
The parachute has nothing to do with it going 825 ft into the air for 45 seconds ! All the parachute does is let it DOWN gently.
What objects use upthrust?
many things use upthrust, some i can name are: a hot-air-balloon, a aeroplane a parachute and possibly a elevator.
Can you think of a situation where it is necessary to increase air resistance on a falling object how is it done?
Yes - falling out of an airplane. Use a parachute.
Why do parachutes accelerate and then fall at a constant speed?
This is because the parachute will trap air underneath it and so the force of air resistance will increase, and it will take longer to fall. The bigger the air resistance the quicker the terminal velocity is reached.
