lol.
My brother did SERE training and they were told that if they parachuted over water they should never release from the chute until their toes break the surface. The reason is that we're really bad at judging our hight above water, so sometime people would release from the parachute thinking they were about to splash (and not wanting to get tangles with the parachute), and then proceed to fall thousands of feet to their death.
At that kind of height, it's basically instant death, it's like hitting concrete.
Like this (feet first):

Can you guys tell me why it's legs first? I've seen people hold their legs together, while others just put them as close together as possible. For anyone who has done this, do the legs come easily apart?
This is all great if you can keep your body properly oriented. Problem is how to stop rotation. Practice makes perfect no doubt.
Look at what the USCG does when they have to rescue fools.
