Parachutes used to be make out of silk but now the most common material is nylon.

Most modern parachutists use a self inflating ram air type of parachute. This parachute or parafoil gives control to the skydiver so that he can decide how fast to drop and can change directions. The photo at the top shows this type.The top concern for someone using a parachute is will it open property. The parachute has to be packed property to insure that it opens correctly.
