Initially skydiving was invented out of parachuting as a means to save an aeronauts life in case their balloon failed at altitude. The idea was not to freefall, but simply to return back to terra firma without injury.
It was thought that the human body could not survive freefall and that you would simply blackout. In the early 20th century, some brave souls invented skydiving with a parachute that could be packed into a harness and container. Over a short period of time, this myth was busted and in fact 'skydivers' realised that skydiving was actually fun, thus the sport was born.
