Skydiving originated around 1910 from the activity of parachuting. Parachuting was invented as a means of survival in the catastrophic failure of an early aeronatuic balloon or aircraft. Air circuses, displayer jumpers were the initial pioneers and they deployed their parachute the moment they exited the aircraft. However, in more recent times, this grew into a military activity with the advent of World War I & II. Post-war, ex-military jumpers then went onto to develop sport 'fun' parachuting and skydiving.
