| In December 1783 Lenomard jumped from a Montpelier observatory tower in Paris with a 14’ round piece of linen cloth shaped like an umbrella. He named the device a 'parachute', Fr. parare=to shield, chute=fall. (oh- I just got 'parasol' - shield from sun.) Leonardo da Vinci made notations of a device that would break a fall c. 1495; and in 1617 Venetian Fauste Veranzio constructed an application based on da Vinci's drawing and jumped from a tower in Venice. The Chinese also worked on the concept of letting a person fall safely from some height c. 1200, and in 852 AD a gentleman named Armen Firman sustained only minor injuries when he lept from a tower in Cordoba using his cloak stiffened with wooden struts. |

His widow, Sophie Blanchard, was also a balloonist.
