What height do skydivers open their parachutes?

Around 3,000 feet above ground. This is to allow enough time to perform your emergency procedures in case of emergency. But also to do your canopy (parachute) checks and to position yourself for your landing. In South Africa the rule is that you must have an open parachute on 1,200 feet above ground. Depending on your speed and type, size and pack of your parachute, it may require anything from 300 to 800 feet for you parachute to open.


How far of the ground are you when you skydive?

Exit altitude depends on how much you pay for the airplane ride. Low jumps are usually between 2000 feet and 6000 feet above the ground. Most sport parachute jumps are made from 10,000 feet to 13,500 feet AGL.Openings depend on type of jump and the jumper's license. Tandems must open by 4500 feet AGL. Students and "A" license jumpers must open no lower than 3000 feet, "D" licence jumpers can open as low as 2000. These are the recommendations from the United States Parachute Association's Basic Safety Requirements. If you don't mind violating the BSRs, you are only limited by how fast your gear can get open. I've known people to make jumps from an aircraft as low as 500 feet above the ground, but that's not a good way to stay alive.
