What happens if you open your chute too early?

Captain Birdseye

No ill effects, It just takes longer to reach the ground. Sometimes a skydiver will intentionally open up early, say 8000 feet, (normal deployment altitude is around 2500 feet) to play around with other skydivers, when they join up to make formations under canopy.
