In GTA games prior to GTA San Andreas, death by falling occurs less frequently, resulting in the lack of need for parachutes. While considerable damage may occur as a result of falling in [[Grand Theft Auto 1]] and [[Grand Theft Auto 2]], the top-down environment resulted in restricted height of buildings, lowering the possibility of such fatalities; with a full health, the player may fall roughly four times from a moderately high ramp before dying. | In GTA games prior to GTA San Andreas, death by falling occurs less frequently, resulting in the lack of need for parachutes.

A lack of aircraft and ability to [[Bail Out|eject from moving vehicle]] or technical limitations in early GTA games are also factors for the late adoption of the parachute. | ||
