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....

What height do skydivers open their parachutes?

Around 3,000 feet above ground. This is to allow enough time to perform your emergency procedures in case of emergency. But also to do your canopy (parachute) checks and to position yourself for your landing. In South Africa the rule is that you must have an open parachute on 1,200 feet above ground. Depending on your speed and type, size and pack of your parachute, it may require anything from 300 to 800 feet for you parachute to open.

After waving a lot to the cameras it was time to open the parachute and float down the remaining 5000 ft. Andre opened the chute and manouvered it around a lot to show me the view.
