Parachutes were invented as a safety device by the French Balloonist, Blanchard, therefore they were originally used on balloons. it is not easy to state when the first jumps, sport or survival took place from airplanes. oddly the were standard issue- with an attached static line to the back-pack on various types of observation balloons in World War I. (If hit , jump over the side!-no ripcord needed) but were not standard issue or use on airplanes in World War I with some exceptions as perhaps the high-altitude R-Plane bombers used by the Germans. these were big multi-engine affairs and engine trouble and resultant fires were very real hazards- over allied (to them Central powers) territory, balilng out was a live option and from a high altitude the chutes had plenty of time to open, avoiding the low-altitude risk.
