Hi, 

So recently I was coming back to kerbin from an orbital mission I decided to do and the parachute I had on my capsule magically cut itself off of my capsule when I was still 500+ metres off the floor. I kept hitting the water at over 340-400m/s, is this a bug or is there anyway to fix it?

It looks like you have an to heavy capsule, 340 m/s equals mach 1 and is very fast for an capsule in lower atmosphere. What are you landing? The 3 man capsule does not maintain that speed. 
Drogue parachute will probably help a lot. have them open high to slow you down to 220 m/s who I found is safe for parachutes, also don't time warp from activated until you are falling at an pretty constant and low velocity. 

Parachutes is a bit buggy think mostly that they don't respect save opening. Most people have problems in that they break before they inflate fully,
