hi do you know a lot about skydiving? Ive been looking a lot at it but im quite scared of heights.
They also call that parachuting, right? You pretty much jump off a high point and allow yourself to descend while wearing a parachute.
either one yea, i guess parachuting is different tho, is it safe?
I think it's fairly safe, as long as it's done right. The first parachute jump on October 22, 1797 by Andre-Jacques Garnerin, the inventor of the parachute.
wow that long ago? Where was the guy from?
André-Jacques Garnerin was born in Paris, France.
wow thats cool, what else is there to know about parachuting?
Garnerin's parachute did not have a container or a ripcord so it was different than the ones we use today.
wow thats awesome, well thanks for all the info on parachuting.
Would you like to know more? Part of parachuting involves a period of free-falling before the parachute is actually used.
