If two people fell out of a plane, could one save the other by applying force to them in a certain direction at the last second before hitting the ground?
Would it theoretically be possible for example for one person to do something like put the other person on top of their legs, kick them upwards right before hitting the ground, and shift their momentum in a way that would remove the built up acceleration/velocity from the rest of the fall?
If so, what would be the most effective way to do it?

What equipment did the South Korean Armed Forces use in Vietnam?
I've been researching the South Korean Armed Forces in Vietnam recently and there's very little information in English or Korean about what kind of equipment they used during the war. I've been able to find them with WW2 era stuff, M16 rifles and M113 APCs but nothing else so far.
