Skydiving
The first parachute jump recorded in history is by Andre-Jacques who invented the parachute itself. He tested this by jumping from a hydrogen balloon on October 22nd in the year of 1797. Without Andre, the sport of skydiving would not even exist! Imagine what was going through his head when he started to invent it? Seems like he was really curious about finding a way to safely jump from a high distance. His initial test is pretty interesting. That is to say, jumping from a big balloon is just unprecedented. Daring man that he was, he jumped from 3,200 feet above Paris!
Uses
When it comes to skydiving, there are many different uses for it. With more people seeking adventure, one of the most common uses is for recreation. Because of this, there have been companies that have sprung up and turned it into a business. Due to the risks involved, this is considered an extreme sport. If the chute does not deploy then you will realize why it is an extreme sport because you can break a lot of bones if you land on the floor without the chute. Professionals also tend to parachute a lot of airborne forces, special operation forces, and sometimes firefighters also do this method to access the forest fires that sprung up. A side note, southern California is known for forest fires so you may see some of this action take place.
