Blanchard, French aeronaut (Balloonist) also invented the parachute as a safety device. The date looks okay.
While there had previously been designs of parachutes and failed attempts to use them, the first functional parachute was invented and demonstrated by Sebastian Lenormand in 1783.
A parachcute is what you use in the millartary and people use them to go skydiving. And the first parachute made in 1783 by Sebastien Lenormand. And kids can play with parachutes as well.
It was invented by Louise Sebastian.The parachute was invented in 1783 He didn't Intend for it to be a sport
Looks like this was purely a French invention. Sebastien Lenormand, a Frenchman, was the first to demonstrate the principle in 1783. was probably the first person to actually use a parachute for an emergency. In 1793, Jean Pierre Blanchard, a Frenchman, claimed to have escaped from an exploded hot air balloon with a parachute. However, this was an unwitnessed event. However, it is reported that the Italians were the first to deliberately drop soldiers behind enemy lines via parachute.
The earliest evidence for the parachute dates back to the Renaissance period. The oldest parachute design appears in an anonymous manuscript from 1470s Renaissance Italy .
Parachutes were invented in France in 1783 by Louis-Sébastien Lenormand. He is credited with performing the first recorded jumps using a parachute, demonstrating its effectiveness from a height of about 3,200 feet. Lenormand's design was inspired by earlier concepts but marked a significant advancement in the development of parachutes.
The development of the parachute involved various inventors over centuries. Early concepts can be traced back to the 1480s with Leonardo da Vinci's sketches, but it wasn't until the 18th century that real prototypes were created. Notably, Frenchman Louis-Sébastien Lenormand is credited with the first successful parachute jump in 1783. Other key figures include André-Jacques Garnerin, who performed the first free-fall parachute jump in 1797, further advancing the design and technology of parachutes.

NOT AT The World's Fair in St. Louis Missouri which occured in 1904. However, the first successful parachute jump from an airplane DID take place in St. Louis on March 1, 1912 at Jefferson Barracks Military Post according to the St. Louis County Parks and Recreation.
Sebastien Lenormand is credited with the creation of the parachute in 1783. However, Leonardo Da Vinci had sketched ideas for ones much earlier.
