October 22, 1797, 14 years after the sky was first raised by a balloon, the famous balloonist Andre Jacques Garnerin a historic first jump with a parachute from an aircraft (not a tower or roof).


Garner, rising to a height of 680 meters above the Parc Monceau Paris together with his brother, at some point ordered to cut the rope holding the gondola under the canvas-covered 8-meter umbrella.
And then, clutching the handle of "umbrella", went into free fall, accompanied by thousands of admiring glances of the crowd.
