How do you open a parachute in battlefield Vietnam?
just hold the A button (Xbox 360) or X button (PS3) once you exited the plane until u hear a parachute sound. It won't let you deploy it when you are really close to the ground because there's not enough time so make sure you jump out high enough.

Are parachute helpful what are some reasons?
- you don't smash your Rolex when you jump out of a high flying plane. - whisky bottles dropped from high altitude arrive on the ground safely. - astronauts don't get killed when landing their space capsule on dry land - drag racing cars slow down more easily - women's lingery made from parachutes has "Count to three, then open" written on it - flares stay in the air for a longer time - nuclear bombs on parachutes stay in the air longer, so you can fly away from the drop zone - a packed parachute makes a nice cushion to lay your head on

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.
What height do skydiver falling from 13000ft open his parachute?
After waving a lot to the cameras it was time to open the parachute and float down the remaining 5000 ft. Andre opened the chute and manouvered it around a lot to show me the view. He even gave me the controls of the parachute for a while. We landed after 5-6 minutes of parachuting down.http://babayaga.sulekha.com/blog/post/2007/12/free-falling-at-13-000-feet.htm
What is freefall delay?
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.
Will a parachute slow a sky diver more at a very high altitude or at a lower altitude?
Parachutes work best in a dense medium. Since air density decreases with altitude, the closer you are to the surface the better a parachute will work. You still have to give it time to deploy to work, though.
What is the difference between umbrella and parachute?
Parachuting is jumping off a plane or a cliff.While Skydiving is the practice of performing acrobatic movements during the freefall phase of a parachute jump.Skydiving has two components, the actual freefall which can be of long or short duration and ends when a pilot chute is deployed and pulls out the parachute from the container. Once the parachute is out, the freefall is over and the canopy flight phase begins and ends with the landing.With the advent of wingsuits this distinction is blurred somewhat, but one is still falling or more accurately gliding through the air towards the ground.Some skydivers favour the freefall phase of the sport and the parachute phase is just the means to land safely and are therefore more accurately termed to be skydivers.Others open their canopies immediately and fly high performance small fast canopies or perform formation flying under canopy and it could be argued that they are parachutists rather than skydivers. There is still a freefall component, albeit brief, and these people would still call themselves skydivers.To conclude, the main difference is semantics, with parachuting being the more old fashioned term from a time when jumping was sub terminal, and skydiving is the modern term for the sport. Both words describe the activity of jumping from an aircraft and landing safely in broad terms.Jumping from physical or manmade structures is termed BASE jumping.They are both very closely connected to each other. During a skydive, a person freefalls from an aircraft with a packed parachute on their back at around 120mph towards the ground.At around 3000ft typically, the skydiver opens their parachuting which reduces their speed to around 10 to 20mph downwards. For the next 3 or 4 minutes, the skydiver is now gliding down to the dropzone under an open parachute. They could be said to be a parachutist at this point.Some participants will exit the aircraft and open their parachute immediately and simply enjoy the parachuting part of the jump.
