Would one thousand Target bags attached to you be equal to a parachute?

It is doubtful and very dangerous to think that a thousand Target bags would operate in the same manner as a carefully constructed parachute - although one thousand Target bags attached to your rear end would make for a great Halloween costume. Please don't try this one.

Answer
The bags would not have enough area to open properly. The cords attaching them to you would increase total mass. Even real parachutes fail to open sometimes, what makes you think all the bags will open?
AnswerIt would slow your plummet for a bit, but then it would probably fold over or get tangled, leaving you as a splat on the pavement
Better Answer
try it, it will work perfectly
AnswerIt would work PERFECTLY if you're suicidal
Answer
It would work if you apply all the laws of quantum physics and you have written your will. And you have no problem with being flat.

How do you forecast percentages for example I have a target of 1.5million but i want to know what a 10 20 30 40 and 50 etc would be?
Divide it by 10 then multiply it by the first number of the percentage you're after. Or if it's an even first number, you could divide by 5, then half of the first number. 1.5 million for 10% would be 150 thousand. 1.5 million for 20% would be 300 thousand. 1.5 for 40% would 600 thousand, and so on.

How does the Leonardo invention of the parachute work?
Leonardo's parachute worked just like today's modern parachutes. But Leonardo did not know that the linen cloth he used would spread itself out in the air so he made a pyramid shaped shell to spread the cloth over. Air would get caught in the pyramid and create drag, tons of it, slowing whoever is attached to it, down.
Would it hurt to break your neck?

How does gravity and air resistance affect parachutes?
Gravity and air resistance are the main forces acting on a parachute. Parachutes are pulled towards the ground by gravity, and if there was no parachute, the guy attached to the chute would turn into tomato paste. So parachutes are designed to create the maximum amount of drag (which is air resistance) so the whatever attached lands undamaged. So basically, parachutes create air resistance to reduce the effects of gravity
Does the third law of motion affect a parachute?
