skydiving.
A parachute is a device used to slow the descent of a person or object from a high altitude by creating drag against the air. It typically consists of a large fabric canopy that is attached to a harness worn by the user. Parachutes are commonly used in activities like skydiving, military operations, and emergency situations.
The first parachute was made from silk. André-Jacques Garnerin, who invented the parachute in 1797, used a silk parachute to make successful jumps.

The concept of the parachute dates back to the 15th century, with Leonardo da Vinci designing a pyramidal parachute in 1485. However, the first successful parachute jump is attributed to André-Jacques Garnerin in 1797, who used a silk canopy. Over the years, various designs and materials were tested, leading to the modern parachute used today. Thus, the development of the parachute spanned several centuries, evolving through experimentation and innovation.
