Bending the legs upon landing allows the parachutist to absorb the impact gradually, reducing the risk of injury. This helps distribute the force of the landing throughout the body more effectively. Straight legs could result in a more abrupt stop upon impact, increasing the chances of injury to the spine, legs, or hips.
