Question about an umbella?

Is it possible with a very large umbrella to glide off of a small scaled surface like a tree? I have seen it in movies but i didnt know if it would really work or not

Your standard umbrella is not designed to act as a parachute. Specifically, it does not have the structural strength to stand up to a strong wind. If you wanted to test it, try attaching rocks of different weights and dropping it out a second floor window.

yes, but then it would be called a parachute, not an umbrella.
