Parachuting
Parachuting is an activity involving a preplanned drop from a height using a deployable
parachute.One type of parachuting is skydiving, which is recreational parachuting, also called sport parachuting. The history of parachuting isn't clear. It's known that
Andre-Jacques Garnerin made successful parachute jumps from a hot-air balloon in 1797. The military developed parachuting technology first as a way to save aircrews from emergencies aboard balloons and aircraft in flight and later as a way of delivering soldiers to the battlefield. Early competitions date back to the 1930s, and it became an international sport in 1951.
