at usual paradrop the chute is pulled right after you left plane, 1st its small schute, which pulls the main cupola, can be seen here clearly at 2.00-2.10
height and speed depends on military and their equipment

Damn, that's dangerously low.

And he is correct, non sf units use static lines It opens about 2 to 3 seconds after you leave the plane, if it doesn't open by 4, pull your reserve.

Americans just have a line that pulls out the main, not a small one, first. Not sure if you were using that as a reference because I believe all drops are American and Canadian.
