Who was the first to successfully parachute?
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. In the late 18th century, Jacques Garnerin from France performed display jumps from balloons throughout Europe. This was the beginning of the modern sport of skydiving.
How is parasailing different from wind surfing?
In parasailing the person in a parachute is towed by a powered vehicle like a boat. In wind surfing, the person under the parachute canopy is not attached to any vehicle by a rope. The wind will just blow the parachute and pull the person under it.
