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.

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.
the magnitude of the skydivers acceleration is zero as he is decelerating by opening his parachute!
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.
well after opening the parachute it will be filled with air so technically the individual will go down slowly due to air resistance .

Only if they have a heart attack, but not likely.

Maximum speed is about 220 to 230mph and can be achieved after about 20 seconds of freefall. Normal parachute opening speed should be not greater that 120mph to avoid damage to the parachute
Cheryl Sterns holds the record for being the woman with the most parachute jumps under her belt. She has made nearly 20,000 jumps as of June, 2014.
I wouldn't recommend it. The shock of your parachute opening and your harness constricting your chest might be more than you could take.
