The Silver Star Medal was awarded for bravery and not for parachute jumps.

However, the paratrooper wears special Wings badge on his uniform. After several jumps he could wear a Star above his paratrooper wings. Different star.

A man who jumps off of a cliff will most likely plummet to his death. Unless he jumps off of a cliff with a parachute on, or is on a hangglider or is Superman, or....Oh, never mind.

What is the history of the parachute regiment cap badge?

The cap badge of the British Parachute Regiment is relatively new as paratroopers did not exist until WW2. So it is a new design that has no historical tradition as common with many of the British regiments. One source I have says the badge was approved in May 1943. The badge is a simple design of Wings with a parachute in the center; the parachute being topped by a King's Crown and a Lion on top of the crown. It has a silver finish.
