Well that's clearly because parachutes aren't effective at reducing the likelihood of causing serious injuries or death. There's even a randomised controlled trial published in the BMJ that says so: https://www.bmj.com/content/363/bmj.k5094

Nice, going to save that one for future use.

Reminds me of a story about a firefighter who fell off a 100-foot ladder but got up and kept working with no injuries...

...🤜〰️Luckily, he was on the bottom rung at the time.
