Made of ultrasupermega stronk silk.

Jokes aside, it's the collision mesh and I guess sim limitations.

Probably a bit of both.  I've noticed too that you don't actually have to "touch" certain objects to wreck your aircraft.  Flying close to a building object will sometimes be enough to result in a crash.

I don't suppose in RL that a parachute would cut the wing off but I think it's fair to say that no fighter pilot would take a chance on colliding with a parachute anyway.   The canopy, shrouds/lines and the parachutist himself could have horrendous consequences on your airframe.  Given that this type of effect can't be simulated in the game I assume the devs simply used a collision box which kinda makes sense.

Both objects have collision boxes surrounding them, which aren't necessarily matching exactly the visible contours of the 3d model (usually are somewhat simplified in shape, to reduce the processing impact of collision detection). The game then determines if two objects are "touching" not by if their visible models are touching, but when their invisible collision boxes intersect eachother. And in case of some objects this might actually be quite a way off.

I can't believe we're actually discussing this...
Is this a joke or are we ACTUALLY discussing this? :))

Ivan especially for You I made small mod with resized collision box for Parachute.
That is default collision box


That is Moded

Download link for soft chute mod https://www.mediafire.com/file/l2qvp34xs9490ca/SoftChute.7z

And some forgotten come as bonus - souvenir from dispersal field



That chute is harder to shot down(violet cone area) -not as default -pops like balloons
If needed i can make it smaller
