I am currently a paratrooper myself and I can tell you that we normally jump at 1250 feet. The parachutes are connected to a static line which is attached to the aircraft and the parachute automatically deploys and is fully inflated after about 4 seconds. After that depending on your weight and how much gear you are carrying you fall at about 20 ft per second until you crash hard into the ground....
