It's called a "Riser".

A parachute with a shorter string generally drops faster than one with a longer string because the shorter string allows for less drag and more streamlined descent. The longer string creates more distance for the parachute to deploy fully, increasing air resistance and slowing down the descent. Additionally, the position of the parachute relative to the ground can affect how effectively it captures air, impacting the overall drag force. Thus, the shorter string results in a quicker descent due to reduced drag.
a small parachute, is a small parachute, ther is no technical name for it. :) a small parachute is called a drogue
USE A PASTIC BAG and string
The 'best' length for a parachute string depends on what the parachute is for and the rest of the design. If a parachute's strings are too short, the whole parachute could collapse. If the parachute's strings are too long, there may be some wobbling and bungeeing about, more twisting of the strings, etc. Parachutes for heavy things (like spacecraft) tend to have longer strings than parachutes for people, since they're less affected by this instability.
To open a parachute, you typically need to pull the parachute deployment handle or ripcord located on the parachute harness. This releases the parachute from its container and allows it to inflate. It's important to follow proper training and procedures to ensure a safe deployment.
The force pushing a parachute up is called drag. It is created when the parachute interacts with the air as it falls, slowing down its descent.
The upwards force on a parachute is called lift. It is created by the air resistance or drag generated by the canopy of the parachute as it falls through the air.
As a kid we use to make parachute out of handkerchiefs. Just tie a string to the four corners of the handkerchief, tangle a action-figure in the string and throw him high. It works quite well.
The parachute canopy is made up of panels.

Stand on something tall, and toss the man into the air anyway you want
