Another issue with parachuting which I haven’t seen mentioned yet is the skill needed to pull it off at that height. If I recall correctly, due to the thin atmosphere, it’s really easy to enter an uncontrolled spin from which you can’t recover. The guy who jumped for Redbull had amazing technical abilities to be able to do so
