Who is packing your parachute is sort of like a reflective quote meaning "who is looking out for you and keeping you safe." You don't want to burn your bridges with those who "pack your parachute" such as the friends who keep you company and love you. They're the ones who help you when you need it most... like a parachute.
As a student, my parachute was last packed by an instructor. Once I have completed a packing course, I can pack my own parachute. Reserve parachutes are always packed by experienced riggers.
"If a parachute is packed right, an airman lives to fight another day."
I found it myself - I was able to find the movie itself on the internet - freeze framed it and saw the banner myself. It reads: "If A Parachute Is Packed Right, An Airman Lives To Fight Another Day".
There is just one 'static line' which is connected to the pin (what holds the container closed) and then connected to the d-bag which the parachute is packed into.

Oh, yes. I seriously doubt you'd find any military which fields paratroopers which hasn't had parachute-related incidents. Every parachute units deals with the same risks - towed jumpers, jumpers burning in, improperly packed parachutes, etc.
There is not such thing as skydive parabungying. There is however 2 separate sports - skydiving (jumping from an aircraft with a packed parachute) and bungy jumping (leaping from a crane or bridge with a strong elastic rope).
As a conjunction, for means because. So it is actually acting as a subordinating conjunction.The campaign failed, for the candidate was not a skilled speaker.The parachute failed to open, for it had not been packed correctly.

Static line parachuting takes place from around 4000ft. As you fall from the aircraft, the parachute opens automatically. To go skydiving (i.e. freefalling through the sky with a packed parachute on your back), you typically jump from between 10,000ft to 15,000ft. You can get up to 1 minute in freefall, or significantly longer with a wingsuit.
a small parachute, is a small parachute, ther is no technical name for it. :) a small parachute is called a drogue
You trust that the person packing it knew what they were doing and that they weren't on drugs or half-asleep at the time. Otherwise, you could learn how to pack your own and then do so for every jump; each time it will be packed as correctly as you want.
