The '''Parachute''' is designed for only one purpose: to safely return the player to ground level after falling from a significant height. The parachute appears in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] and [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]]. | The '''Parachute''' is designed for only one purpose: to safely return the player to ground level after falling from a significant height.

GTA San Andreas introduced a more realistic range of damage incurred to the player when falling, where the severity of damage is amplified; jumps from moderate heights will deduct substantial amounts of the player's health, while jumps from extreme heights may result in certain death. The parachute was introduced as a life-saving option, available in various high elevations throughout the [[State of San Andreas]], including building rooftops, or after exiting any flying vehicles from great heights after obtaining a pilot's license. | GTA San Andreas introduced a more realistic range of damage incurred to the player when falling, where the severity of damage is amplified; jumps from moderate heights will deduct substantial amounts of the player's health, while jumps from extreme heights may result in certain death.

* A second blue rectangular parachute backpack design exists in GTA San Andreas, although the player has no direct access to it; the parachute itself is otherwise similar. The backpack can be seen in at least two occasions in the game, one during the [[Flying School]]'s video demonstration of the "Parachute Onto Target" trial, and another during "[[A Home in the Hills]]" where the backpacks are carried by the [[San Fierro Triads|Triads]] to base jump into [[Madd Dogg's Crib]]. | * A second blue rectangular parachute backpack design exists in GTA San Andreas, although the player has no direct access to it; the parachute itself is otherwise similar.
