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?
1_Wizard
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 thats cool, what else is there to know about parachuting?
1_Wizard
Garnerin's parachute did not have a container or a ripcord so it was different than the ones we use today.
