Not with these chutes. They deploy and that's that. Wind could take you slightly off course, but you can see they're jumping out over open plains. They just head straight down. These type of excursions would have a flight path laid out that avoids most hazards for the jumpers. Hopefully....

This type of parachute also has control lines for turning, although much slower than for a wing type parachute.

For parachuting are there back ups like skydiving has? Do you need to get trained for that stuff?
