* In ''Literature/AngelsAndDemons'', it's mentioned a few times that a person can survive falling from a great height with only a few square metres of fabric to slow them down. [[DanBrowned Probably best not to try this yourself]].

*ComicBook/SpiderMan often creates parachutes with his webs that will fall under this category. Occasionally he such as when fighting the Human Torch in Spider-Man #1, he creates two foot wide parachutes, one in each hand, which somehow are just as effective as a real parachute.

* The B.A.S.E. Jumper parachute in ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' isn't much bigger than an umbrella. Notably, [it can only be used by the two classes who can RocketJump. Of the two, one is a deranged lunatic with a very weak grasp on reality and the other is a career drunkard whose metabolism manages to create alcohol of its own accord, [[AchievementsInIgnorance so presumably what they don't know won't hurt them]].

Chekov's Gun, but it's a self-fulfilling spoiler.

** The Paraglider returns in ''VideoGame/HyruleWarriorsAgeOfCalamity'', where every playable character uses it, or has some equivalent to it. This includes the gorons [[TheBigGuy Daruk and Yunobo]], who are much bigger and heavier than Link; they have bigger Paragliders, but the SquareCubeLaw means they're even more absurd.
