Skydiving can be dated as far back as the 1100s in Ancient Chine. Leonardo da vinci designed a pyramidal, wooden framed parachute in approximately 1495. Adrian Nichols jumped this parachute in the late 20th century. The skydive was successful, but do to a fear of the parachute being too heavy and crushing him, Nichols cut away the parachute and landed under his reserve.
