| Article Title :: Parachutes And Who Made The First Parachute Jump |
| |

He crashed to the earth at a frightening speed, but lived to tell the tale of the first parachute jump.
A cloak, however, is not a true parachute. Most give credit to Leonardo Da Vinci for cr (read full article) |

The reserve is also known as the second parachute. This second parachute is available for the safety of skydivers just in case the main parachute won't open for any reason.
