We used to call this a "tube jump." Wyat Drewes flew the base fall rate in a sit flying position while other freeflying skydivers attempted to dock on him. Brett Willard shot this video of jumping out of an airplane with a huge Firefly Jump Suits tube banner Feb 2004 - Skydive San Diego.  Fly free Wyat! I miss you!

When it came time to open his parachute (canopy), Wyat would hold the tube out to the side with his left hand and deploy with his right. The canopy would usually bounce off the tube. As soon as the canopy was open and flying straight he hooked the tube around his foot. Parachuting with a tube is not something you'd want a newbie to do. And keep in mind Wyat was flying a small heavily loaded cross-braced canopy - Icarus Canopies VX.
