By:Julius

Parachutes were one of the greatest inventions in 1783.They're are flying safety help and used for fun sometimes.Many famous inventions tried to make a parachute and try to use it.in 1912 there were two important men named Grant Nortmon and C. Albert because they were the first people in history to jump out of an airplane with a parachute.But,the first parachute jump that ever happened was in 1797,when a french man jumped from a hydrogen balloon.

The first made was based off of Leonardo Da'Vinci's Idea,but it was sketched by a Italian Manuscript .It was first intended to allow people to jump out of burning buildings.Later,it was used for flight safety.John H. Lienhard described a Parachute as "A huge winglike cloak to break his fall".Many people believed that the modern parachute was sketched,built,and used by Leonardo Da'Vinci,but it was not.Leonardo Da'Vinci's parachute was made of sealed linen cloth and held open by a pyramid of wooden poles.Approximately 7 meters long.Scientist believe that the first ever was in Venice,Italy.Fauste Veranzio, a Hungarian jumped from the bell tower in 1616.Long after that airplanes were built.Thats when the first Airplane jump with a parachute happened.
