I don't see much connection between the examples you give and the sequence as shown in the CoD video. Firstly we see a static-line drop from a transport - a wholly different technique to the use of a manual rip-cord; then we see some shots of men wriggling about on sailplane wings, followed by a certifiable lunatic - sorry, free-fall parachutist - doing a neat trick and upsetting his mother

I can't see how any of this can be compared to the sequence in the CoD video. The impression of no speed is because the 'camera' is falling at the same speed as the jumper.
