How to Use a Parachute
This GTA 5 guide is a handy resource on getting and using the parachute on the Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS4, PS5, and PC.
Parachutes are good for a few things in GTA 5. They help you to land on hard-to-reach spots all around San Andreas, they help with escaping off tall buildings, and sight-seeing some of the mountain terrains. Additionally, you can complete a couple of the Strangers and Freaks missions that require a parachute. But most importantly, parachutes help get you to the ground safely.
