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.

How does gravity allow a parachute to go up into the air?
Gravity and parachute fight and newton wins!
How will punching a hole in a parachute affect the rate at which it falls?
wouldn't the air trapped in the parachute quickly go out, then you will quickly fall until splat on the ground
When you deploy your parachute do you go up or just slow down?
you just slow down
After opening the parachute do you go up?
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.
What is the hypothesis for the parachutes?
Hypothesis: Will the speed of the parachute increase when more weight is put in to it and will it go slower if less weight is put in
How much feet go by when a parachute opens sky diving?
Most typical jumps are from about 10,000ft.
What is newtons second law and how does this affect sky divers?
It affects sky divers because the closer you are to the ground the faster you go.
What height do you have to be to go parachuting?
Static line parachuting takes place from around 4000ft. As you fall from the aircraft, the parachute opens automatically. To go skydiving (i.e. freefalling through the sky with a packed parachute on your back), you typically jump from between 10,000ft to 15,000ft. You can get up to 1 minute in freefall, or significantly longer with a wingsuit.
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.
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 extreme about skydiving?
soon as you leave the plane you go from 0-200 kmph in 8 seconds then when the parachute opens. if it opens you got to figure out the winds to land go down wind on a windy you going pretty fast so there are some risks not really that extreme. try base jumping
How does a parachute enable a person to jump without getting hurt?
A parachute slows down the descent of a person by creating drag and increasing air resistance. When a person jumps with a parachute, the parachute opens up and generates enough drag to slow down the fall, allowing the person to land safely without getting hurt.
How do you open the door at the sky fortess?
Its sky pillar..once u go to sootopolis,u need to go to the cave of origin..once ur there,talk to wallace,then head to sky pillar..he will be there waiting for u ..once u talk to him,he opens the door for u to catch Rayquaza.
