TRIVIA - THE PARACHUTE






Did you know that parachute was invented over a century before airplanes were. The first parachute was built by a French balloonist, Jean Pierre Francois Blanchard. The first parachute jump was made by a dog in a basket, which Blanchard had attached to the parachute and dropped from a balloon, in 1785.
