Munchkin jumpers weigh less than 100 pounds and are barely 5 feet tall. Bowling ball types, of stocky build, and come in short, average and extra tall models.
Most jumpers fall into the average category.
Way back when, all jumpers used the same type and size parachute. It was usually a military surplus T-10, 28' flat or Navy conical. Some jumpers found landing to be difficult, hard and physically taxing. Today, equipment is made in as many types, shapes and sizes as there are jumpers. Each jumper can find several parachutes that work well for his size.
