The skydiver pulls out a pilot chute and releases it . The pilot chute then inflates and pulls the main canopy out of the pack, allowing it to open. This is how a sports skydiver opens his main parachute. Reserve parachutes are kept closed by a small pin holding a loop closed, and pulling a ripcord connected to this pin starts the deployment process. A spring loaded pilot chute is released, which inflates and pulls out the reserve parachute in a way similar to the main chute. This system is more reliable than the process used to pack the main parachute, but it is less convenient, and takes much longer to pack.

How does gravity and air resistance affect parachutes?
Gravity and air resistance are the main forces acting on a parachute. Parachutes are pulled towards the ground by gravity, and if there was no parachute, the guy attached to the chute would turn into tomato paste. So parachutes are designed to create the maximum amount of drag (which is air resistance) so the whatever attached lands undamaged. So basically, parachutes create air resistance to reduce the effects of gravity
