On 16-Aug-1960, Captain Joseph Kittinger of the US Air Force parachuted from a helium balloon at an altitude of 102,800 ft (19.5 miles / 31,354m) setting three world records; the highest parachute jump, the longest free fall (85,300 ft in 4 mins 36 seconds) and the first person to break the speed of sound without an aircraft (714 mph).
As Garnerin failed to include an air vent at the top of his parachute, he oscillated wildly in his descent. However, he landed unhurt half a mile from the balloon's takeoff site. Garnerin therefore became the first man to design a parachute that was capable of slowing a man's fall from a high altitude.Garnerin made exhibition jumps all over Europe including one of 8,000 feet (2,438 m) over London in September 1802.In the 1880s parachutes were used by circus showman jumping from balloons.s Garnerin failed to include an air vent at the top of his parachute, he oscillated wildly in his descent.
