I’m assuming that they put larger parachutes on the thing before putting humans inside.
Also, the vehicle itself could easily land in a location from which it couldn’t be extracted (either because of a lack of suitable equipment or because of the location being virtually inaccessible). Several experiments were done in the 1970s in order to find a way to circumvent these limitations, including dropping the BMD with the two key crew members, the driver, and the gunner, seated inside the vehicle during the descent.
That, on the other hand, seems harder to resolve.
“On the down side, instead of losing a BMD in an inaccessible swamp, we’ve now lost a BMD containing several soldiers in an inaccessible swamp.”
“On the up side, our responsibility only covers air logistics and ends once we’ve delivered the hardware to the soldiers on the ground. Now it’s a ground forces problem.”
As the BMDs are fully amphibious, it should be able to be driven and move after landing even in a swamp. Then, the core crew can collect the other crew members at their individual locations.
