There are many theories about how the first parachutes came about. Some say Chinese acrobats used umbrellas as the first parachutes. Another story is that in the late 18th century, the first balloons were invented. They were filled with hot smoke into a canvas balloon and the passenger was suspended in a basket held by a net surrounding the balloon. On one occasion, the balloon accidentally burst and formed a parachute inside the envelope of the net around it.
The first person to actually make an intentional parachute jump was Frenchman Garnerin in around 1793. The parachute was designed as an escape for the early aeronauts who flew their balloons. Technology for parachutes only improved when some decided to jump for pleasure at festivals and other public events.
