parachute landing fall

A parachute landing fall (PLF) is a technique used to safely land after jumping from a parachute. It involves a controlled sequence of rolls and body positioning to absorb the impact and prevent injury. Upon touchdown, the jumper lands on the balls of their feet, then smoothly rolls sideways across their hips and back, distributing the force over multiple points. This method reduces stress on the legs and joints, minimizing injury risk. Proper execution of a PLF allows parachutists to land safely in various conditions, especially in rough terrain or at high speeds.
