In this video I test if it is possible to use umbrellas instead of a parachute. I test it by holding onto two large umbrellas as I jump off of different things into a pool. I compare this to when I'm not holding the umbrella and see how much they slowed me down. Then I talk about if umbrellas could be used to replace a parachute during skydiving!
