No. In many movies it appears that someone opening a parachute flies up in the air. However, this is because of the perspective of the camera, which continues falling while the person slows down.
Gravity continues to pull the person down to the ground, the parachute only slows them down.

How does gravity allow a parachute to go up into the air?
Gravity and parachute fight and newton wins!
Do sky divers go up when a parachute opens?
Sky divers do not go up, but they do undergo deceleration due to the increased drag incurred by the parachute being suddenly opened. Since skydivers, when being filmed by a cameraman, release their parachute first, there is a relative acceleration between the cameraman and the skydiver, creating the illusion that the skydiver is travelling up.
When you deploy your parachute do you go up or just slow down?
you just slow down
Is forces on the parachute upthrust and down force?
Up thrust because the air pushes up and fills up the parachute.
Does a parachute fall quicker with a heavy or light weight?
To lift the parachute up people carry light weights in it. So if light weights are needed to lift the parachute up heavy weights will fall the parachute quicker.
What are the odds of a parachute not opening?
The odds of a parachute not opening properly can vary depending on factors such as equipment, training, and environmental conditions. Overall, modern parachutes have redundant safety features to minimize this risk, with failure rates estimated to be very low, around 1 in 1000 jumps. It's important to always follow proper procedures and maintenance protocols to ensure safe operation.
What happens after you open a parachute?
well after opening the parachute it will be filled with air so technically the individual will go down slowly due to air resistance .
How does gravity allow a parachute to go up into the air?
Gravity and parachute fight and newton wins!
Do you go up when you open your parachute?
Yes, you do. When a parachute deploys in mid air on the way down to the ground you go up. Only because when you are moving down the wind is moving up from you. So when the parachute opens and the wind is cought then the wind (going up) pushes the parachute up but only for a little while beause eventually gravity will take control.
What is freefall delay?
In skydiving, freefall delay is the amount of time allowed for the parachuter to freefall, that is, fall without opening their parachute. This is the time from leaving the plane to opening of the parachute.
When skydiver slows down from 54 meters to 4 meters by opening his parachute If this takes 0.75 seconds what is the magnitude of the skydiver's acceleration?
the magnitude of the skydivers acceleration is zero as he is decelerating by opening his parachute!
When you pull a cord on parachute do you go back up?
You do go up, relative to the cameraman, but you never actually gain altitude. When the parachute opens you accelerate upwards and you fell exactly the same as if you were accelerated upwards from rest.
Explain how a parachute works using the terms air resistance surface area and gravity?
A parachute works as the gravity allows the parachute to go up into the air, then the surface area is covered with air resistance.
Do sky divers go up when a parachute opens?
Sky divers do not go up, but they do undergo deceleration due to the increased drag incurred by the parachute being suddenly opened. Since skydivers, when being filmed by a cameraman, release their parachute first, there is a relative acceleration between the cameraman and the skydiver, creating the illusion that the skydiver is travelling up.
When you deploy your parachute do you go up or just slow down?
you just slow down
A skydiver slows down from 65 ms to 5 ms by opening the parachute If this takes 0.75 seconds what is the skydivers acceleration?
80 m/s2 up
What effect would opening a parachute have on a skydiver's fall?
Only if they have a heart attack, but not likely.
