The modern parachute was invented in the late 18th century by Louis-Sébastien Lenormand in France.
Other early inventors designed parachutes, including Croatian Faust Vrancic who constructed a device based on Da Vinci's drawing. This is only slightly later than the earliest parachute was created: design involving a long piece of cloth with handholds at each end.
