The 216th Anniversary of the First Parachute Jump






Andrew Garnerin - First Recorded Parachute Jump

In 1797 (October 22), Andrew Garnerin was the first person recorded to jump with a parachute without a rigid frame. Garnerin jumped from hot air balloons as high as 8,000 feet in the air. Garnerin also designed the first air vent in a parachute intended to reduce oscillations.
