Why do tandem jumpers use a drag chute? If I recall my physics properly, they should fall at either the same rate (in a vacuum) or slower rate as a single jumper due to the added drag of the 2nd body so why use a drag chute? Maybe to help stabilize them?
TIA.

The bodies are falling in a manner that does not double the drag. That's my guess. Stabilizing also prob... No telling what the newb is gonna do when they start falling.
