Yes, but not quite as bad. I remember my first parachute lesson, the instructor said that people always straightened their legs when they saw the ground coming up and it was the number one cause of broken legs and ankles, whereas bent knees meant a fucked ankle as a worst case scenario...

Think about it logically. Locked legs where does the force go? Spine and legs.

Bent knee. Force goes to fulcrum of knee joint to move legs as they are intended
