No, not really. The decelleration was a lot more gradual than I expected. Landing wasn't very harsh either - modern parachutes are extremely maneuverable, they're nothing like those circular paratrooper ones that a lot of people imagine. We did a kinda "J" shape where we swooped down fast and then pulled up at the last second to fully slow down. The landing was essentially just walking.
