Parachute-by Leonardo Da Vinci. The first parachute (. ) had been imagined and sketched by Leonardo Da Vinci in the 15th century. It's hard to believe something as modern as a parachute could be invented over 500 years ago. Leonardo's parachute design consists of sealed linen cloth held open by a pyramid of wooden poles, about seven metres long.
The actual history of skydiving starts with french man Andre-Jacques Garnerin, who made successful parachute descents in 1797 using a canvas canopy and a small basket tied beneath a hot air balloon. The first recorded free fall jump is credited to Leslie Irvin in 1919 and the earliest competitive dives date back to the 1930's. Skydiving became much more mainstream once the military began developing parachute technology and used the act of skydiving as a tactical move during World War II.
