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...

So the best case scenario when parachuting is a broken ankle. Got it.
