Using a parachute prevents death from water impact
New, WishlistPublic

Description

Happens in 1.53.132389 Dev

If you use the parachute just before you hit the ground, you die from impact. If you hit the ground from freefall, you die from impact. If you hit the water from freefall, you die from impact.

But, if you trigger your parachute just before hitting the water, you will dive in without taking any damage.

You will still die from impact if you hit the ocean floor, but if you manage to slow down enough to prevent that, you will survive. {F27048} {F27049}
