At the very least he'd be hurt bad, with that style of chute you have to be able to turn into the wind to slow yourself down and you have to control your landing so you don't go face forward.
With the older style drop chutes, yeah you'd survive but probably be messed up.
With the sailing style of chute, it would be like standing on the nose of an airplane during a landing.
The helmet would protect his head, but he'd probably bounce and drag.
The guy regained consciousness and his facilities and made a landing but I think his jumping days are done.
