It would suck to be in the control group. ;)

Also, as my grandfather was a paratrooper: parachuting isn't a risk free activity even when the main canopy deploys properly, i.e., broken limbs on landing. And it's remotely possible to survive a fall without a parachute from terminal velocity height, i.e., Vesna Vulović. Edit: <- Edge-cases contrary to the obvious.

The control group in this study only fell a couple of feet at most. I don't think it sucked much for them at all.

Smh. Poe's law disclaimer wink added.

Ha! Fair enough. I'm leaving my comment just in case other people really do misinterpret the study.
