I am in an Airborne unit in the Army and while this could be done, you would have to be a complete idiot to try it. The problem would be the weight of the jumpers. Most parachutes can safely lower 350 lbs. And safely means it won't kill you but the landing will hurt like hell.

Redleg is correct here (I was an airborne redleg myself back in the day) but with civilian parachutes the landing is a bit easier.

This isn't the smartest idea and it is certainly dangerous for a noob with 0 jumps, but I have no doubt whatsoever it can be done.
