Several possible answers to this question so I'll sum it up to 2 base answers.
1. some designs have been made simply to improve on the older designs and make them safer/easier to use.
2. some modern designs are better suited for different purposes. A skydiver for instance don't use the same parachute as a base jumper.
Different parachutes are used to meet different needs. This one is highly steerable, this one can support more weight, this one can stand up to the higher opening shock of a delayed opening jump, etc. And some parachutes, like the one above, have very specialized uses- stopping an airplane or a race car.

The reason parachutes were designed was so that people could fall at any height and not get hurt at all.

The variable being studied is the size of the parachutes.
The types of parachutes may vary from time to time.Still,I have tried my best to get the detail. Types of parachutes:1.Parasol type. 2.Conical Parachute. 3.Pyramid parachute. 4.Pack style parachute. 5.Round parachutes. There are still others but they are not common.
No, for the same reason that the crew of a nuclear submarine doesn't wear parachutes.
The manipulated variable in this experiment would be the size of the parachutes. By changing the size of the parachutes, the scientist can observe how it affects the time it takes for the parachutes to fall to the ground.
Its still parachutes.
Parachutes come in varying sizes.
While there had previously been designs of parachutes and failed attempts to use them, the first functional parachute was invented and demonstrated by Sebastian Lenormand in 1783.
