Jump, Jump, Jump!!

It wasn't a real good weather day yesterday at the bridge walk, overcast with very flat light and strong contrast against the sky.
Jumpers appearing from the belly of the Hercules.

Flying down in smokes - quite an advertisement here

Coming down quite fast for the turns, with the Australian Flag

Making a safe and on target touchdown

Does anyone know what is that little tiny parachute hanging from the main one does? Is it some sort of stabiliser?
