The goal is to fall to the ground as quickly as possible without killing yourself not to mention having over 100 pounds worth of equipment. Many people still compare it to jumping of a 10 story building

Maybe many people do compare it to jumping off a 10 story building but that would be a very gross exageration...and would be killing time. Jumping from a 16 foot height is basically the landing shock involved...though this can vary upwards...depending on wind speed.
