Step-by-step explanation:

When a person is standing still, the forces acting on them (weight force pulling down and normal force pushing up) are equal and opposite, so the net force is balanced. So the person will continue to be at rest, unless the net force becomes unbalanced.

When a person falls with a parachute, the forces acting on them (weight force pulling down and air resistance pushing up) are equal and opposite, so the net force is balanced. So the person will continue to fall at the same speed until the net force becomes unbalanced.
