Why parachutists are not hurt on the surface of the earth but get hurt on the surface of the moon?

Why parachutists are not hurt on the surface of the earth but get hurt on the surface of the moon?

As we all know that the parachute prevents accidents while jumping from height by balancing the velocity of the jumping or falling body. It balances the velocity of the body due to the influence of upthrust given by the atmosphere. But, there is no atmosphere on the moon's surface through the earth's surface has. So, parachutists are not hurt on the earth's surface but get hurt on the moon's surface.
