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 were the security mistakes made on the day franz Ferdinand died?
Using an open topped car. Only putting policeman on the streets instead of an army. Going to the hospital to visit the injured instead of going to safety.
When dressing an open chest wound where do you tie the knot?
There shouldn't be a knot to tie. The treatment for an open chest wound is to put a piece of plastic over it and tape it down on the sides so that air cannot get in or out of the wound. There's nothing to tie down anywhere in that. You could be thinking of flail chest which has more to do with broken bones then an open chest wound. As an army medic I find your question soul crushingly confusing.
