What are the action and reaction forces on the fabric of a parachute when it is deployed?

When a parachute is deployed, the action force is the air resistance pushing against the parachute fabric. This air resistance is created by the change in the air's velocity as it passes through the canopy of the open parachute. The reaction force to this action force is the drag force created by the parachute pulling against the jumper. This drag force is created by the increase in the parachute's surface area, which slows the jumper down as they fall. The drag force is also responsible for the parachute's ability to slow the jumper's descent enough to safely reach the ground.

Why does a parachute keep you in the air?
