Skydiving question...
      06/18/12 01:03 PM

Why do tandem jumpers use a drag chute? If I recall my physics properly, they should fall at either the same rate (in a vacuum) or slower rate as a single jumper due to the added drag of the 2nd body so why use a drag chute? Maybe to help stabilize them?
TIA.
