What happens immediately after skydiver opens her parachute?

When her parachute opens, the air resistance increases. Now there is a resultant force going upwards on the parachute. The increase in air resistance occurs because when the parachute is opened there is a much larger surface area (than before) so the particles of air are much more likely to get 'caught up' in the parachute unable to pass easily, therefore creating more air resistance (an upwards force) and so slowing down the parachutist. NOTE: The parachutist does NOT move upwards after the parachute has opened, they just slow down. This effect comes from when a parachutist with a camera is filming opposite, they are still falling rapidly while the other person's parachute has opened, therefore passing them as they continue to freefall, and so the parachutist opposite appears to move upwards after opening the parachute.
