Water isn't like in the video games. It's still a hard landing that you wouldn't survive if you were going too fast. There's just much more margin for error trying to hit the ocean vs. a plot of land.

My father was a fighter pilot. He explained that at a sufficiently sharp angle, hitting water was like hitting concrete.

They have parachutes for a softer landing on water. They aren't hitting it at terminal velocity from the free fall
