What is the procedure for landing in trees?

When landing in trees, facing into the wind is crucial because it helps to slow your forward momentum as you descend. This positioning can reduce the impact and assist in a safer landing, as you are more aligned with the natural airflow. Additionally, preparing for a parachute landing fall (PLF) is important because even if you land in trees, you may still experience a sudden drop or bounce upon landing. A PLF technique also helps in distributing the impact forces more evenly across your body, which can prevent injury.

In situations where a landing in trees might occur, focusing on the wind direction increases your chances of having the canopy catch more air, potentially providing a smoother landing experience. A well-executed PLF can help mitigate the risk of injury upon contact with the branches or ground.
