What universe do you live in? This is Road Runner Cartoon physics.

Clearly, then, a man wearing a parachute falls at the same speed
jumping out of an airplane regardless of whether the parachute opens
or not, and the man would fall slower if he didn't use a parachute
(which obviously weighs something) at all. So why were parachutes
invented?
