What happens when the skydiver opens his parachute

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 13-10-31] [Hit: ]
Thanks !-No, of course the skydiver wont GO up, but the rate of descent lessens. That means an acceleration up (a deceleration) is felt, until the rate of fall steadies at the lower value.......
It's written '' the large surface area of the parachute unbalance the forces ''
so does that mean that the air resistance will be greater than the weight, if so shouldn't the skydiver go up when he opens the parachute ?!

Thanks !
