After my first time skydiving I always thought about one day trying that. You would have to calculate alot of stuff. The speed of the parachute, the speed of the human and the factor of you only get one shot unless your wearing a wing suit. Cause the person will fall at a more rapid speed of rate then the parachute.

I thought that if you dropped a penny and a bowling ball from the same height, that they'd hit earth at the same time? I don't remember...

If you drop an object from the same height exactly at the same time right along side another object, they will both hit together if they are the same size and take up and equal portion of space.
If you were to drop a car from 10,000 feet and a baseball, they would not hit together because the car does not have the same surface area.
Just like dropping paper and a brick. The brick hit's before the paper not because of it's weight, but because of it's mass difference and the papers ability to float around a bit and catch air rather than get dropped right through the air.
