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.

What height do you have to be to go parachuting?

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.
