so whats the expected G force on your body from a drop from 13 ft?
Its not the drop that gets you - its the landing!

Landing gear crush and other deformation might make it gentler than you expect.

Given that deploying the chute trashes the aircraft, the question is whether you would be better off just doing a forced landing.
