The first parachute was made from silk. André-Jacques Garnerin, who invented the parachute in 1797, used a silk parachute to make successful jumps.
Most of the silk parachutes are worth a price ranging between $50 and $75. The price you can get will depend upon its condition and the age of the parachute.
Blanchard developed the first foldable parachute made from silk.

yes he invintend a square silk one
Not really, except perhaps as a sunshade (if you had something to support it on).
Something about parachute silk...
Gravity. A parachute uses the force pushing up on a large area of silk to resist the force of gravity, allowing for a controlled descent and landing.
Silk is cool, how can a sheet give warmth anyway.
Possibly, but tin foil is rather fragile, and easily torn. A cotton or silk fabric would make a better, more resilient, parachute.
Gravity.
Parachutes are not rated by their speed. A parachute works by increasing the air resistance of a suspended falling body or object. The greater the mass of the object the larger the area of the parachute must be to reduce the speed to an acceptable level.
