A Parachute Landing Fall is a safety technique devised to reduce the incidence of injury for those deploying parachute.

A PLF distributes the landing shock along feet, calf, thigh, hip, and shoulders. During a PLF, the jumper's chin is tucked, and the risers are grasped in an arm-bar protecting the face and throat. The PLF is executed in one of six directions (left front, left side, left rear, right front, right side, right rear), depending on terrain, wind, and oscillation.
