Answer 1

Originally Answered: Why do paratroopers roll on landing? Simply put, it is to minimise the forces on your ankles/legs to prevent injury. ... A fully laden paratrooper can land with vertical speeds up to 8m/s, which is the equivalent of jumping off a 3.3m building without a parachute.

Answer 2

If paratroopers do not roll on landing, there will be a huge change in momentum f their body in a very short time. As a result of this a very high force will act on their leg resulting in breaking of legs and other severe injuries. They roll in order to reduce the impact on their legs.
