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.

How do you make parachute stay in the air longer?
You can make a parachute stay in the air longer by increasing its surface area, either by using a larger parachute or by adding more fins or panels to the canopy. You can also try adjusting the weight of the payload attached to the parachute to help it descend more slowly. Finally, make sure the parachute is properly packed and deployed to maximize its effectiveness in the air.
What types of energy is stored in a parachute?
A parachute stores potential energy when packed, and then converts this energy into kinetic energy when deployed during a fall. The kinetic energy is generated as the parachute slows down the descent of an object by increasing air resistance and drag.

How do parachute ropes stay untangled?
Parachute ropes are carefully packed into a canopy deployment bag using a specific folding technique that helps prevent tangling. Additionally, the fabric of the parachute canopy itself provides some structure and support to keep the ropes organized and in place during deployment. Finally, some parachutes have slider devices that help control the rate at which the canopy deploys, which can also help prevent tangling of the ropes.

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.
Can you pack your own parachute?
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.
