Yes, freefallers do experience G-forces during their descent. Initially, as they accelerate due to gravity, they can experience up to 1.5 Gs, which is similar to the force felt when accelerating in a car. However, once they reach terminal velocity, the G-forces stabilize at around 1 G, as the force of gravity is balanced by air resistance. After deploying the parachute, the deceleration can result in a brief spike in G-forces, potentially reaching around 3 Gs or more during the rapid slowdown.
Up to 6gs in racing, sometimes more in a crash.
four parachutes
Parachutes are available at the Tailor Shop, if you must re-stock on them. I am not sure how many florins they cost.
On ordinary commercial aircraft there are none.

there are about 100,000 accidents a year for sky diving
Yes. There were many occasions when troops were parachuted in.
In the Hunger Games (the games not the book) parachutes symbolize gifts. If you were a tribute in the Games and were sent a parachute, you would get a gift. In the books however, the parachutes could symbolize many things. But at the end of the series, it would be safe to say that whenever Katniss thinks of the silver parachutes, she will think of her sister Prim (Read book 3 and you will see why).
Prim and many other kids are taken to the capitol and parachutes fly down on top of them. They all think it is a gift, but it was Gale and Beetee's bomb idea. The parachutes were bombs and they killed Prim.

Air resistance is the main reason that a parachutes slowly float to earth. the weightattached to the parachute keep it suspended in the correct shape to be effective. this is a very simplistic explanation and as can be seen from the many shapes and styles of modern parachutes there are other factors involved that can be used to modify the performance of a chute.
During World War II, parachutes were produced by various manufacturers, including well-known companies like the United States Rubber Company and the British company Irvin Airchute Company. The U.S. military also developed its own parachutes, such as the T-5 and T-10 models, which were used extensively by airborne troops. Additionally, many countries involved in the war had their own manufacturers and designs tailored to their specific military needs.
