There are several different types of malfunctions possible on a parachute while it is deploying. Everybody jumps with a spare parachute, known as a reserve. The parachutist identifies the type of malfunction and either cuts away the main parachute and deploys the reserve or if a cutaway isn't necessary just deploys the reserve straight away. Please note that cut away doesn't mean you have to cut all the lines with a knife, there is a pad that you grab and pull down which releases the main parachute.

How does an open parachute increase air resistance of a falling skydiver?
An open parachute increases air resistance by creating a larger surface area that pushes against the air as the skydiver falls. This increased surface area results in greater air resistance, slowing down the skydiver's descent. The parachute helps to counteract the force of gravity and allows the skydiver to descend more slowly and safely.
