How does a parachute reduce the terminal velocity of a person falling through the air?
The parachute increase the surface area and so therefore increase air resistance, slowing the person down, and reducing terminal velocity.
Can a person parachute without a parachute?
yes it is possible to parachute without a "parachute" there is a suit which u wear called a squirrel suite i believe which allows the air to be caught acting as a "brake" there for slowing you down but i am not sure if it works completley

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.
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.

At what height the risk is considered fatal when working at height is considered?
Falling from any height can be fatal, it all depends on how you land. A person can trip while walking and land just right to cause a fatality while another person can fall 40 feet and still live. So there is not any real height to consider because its not the factor in falling fatalities.
Why does a person loss speed if he opens parachute?
The parachute will increase air resistance, compared to the person alone.
When a skydiver opens their parachute they move upwards?
When a skydiver opens the parachute, he or she does not move upward, but rather, continues to move downward, but at a slower speed. Sometimes there is an illusion that the skydiver is moving upward, because if there are several people skydiving together, and one of them opens a parachute while the others don't, you will see the skydiver with the open parachute moving upward with relation to the other skydivers. But they are all still moving downward, they are just doing so at different speeds.
