Imagine a parachute acting like a giant umbrella. The larger the surface area of the canopy, the more air it can capture, slowing down the descent rate. This is crucial for a safe landing. Now,  picture a heavier person attached to the parachute.  The parachute needs to work harder against the additional weight to maintain a safe descent speed.
**Q: What happens if I am overweight for a skydiving jump?**
