The troops (soldiers) equipped to be dropped by parachutes from an aircraft are called paratroopers. Why do paratroopers roll on landing?

The paratroopers roll on the ground after landing to convert the high momentum into rolling kinetic energy as the high momentum gained by the paratroopers by falling is large enough to hurt them.
