Would "land assist" technology be possible in real life?

In the game Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, characters wear exoskeletons with an ability called "land assist", which allows them to slow down their fall using a jet of compressed air (or some specific gas). Would such a device be possible in real life? If so, would it be efficient enough for slowing down a high fall (e.g: from hundreds of thousands of feet)?
