Franz Reichelt jumping from Eiffel Tower.

"The Flying Tailor". First (and last) attempt to test his new parachute.

Probably the first recorded epic fail ever!

February 4, 1912

  • I would have to say that was a complete success.

  • @1Vella ya, but he didn't really test them from that high, plus I'm assuming his tests were less than adequately thorough enough to be worth risking life.

  • 9/11

  • @janmorez he did try with dummies and they were successful apparently....

  • Reichelt: Really bro? You brought impact crater measuring gear? WTF guy?

    Guy at the end: It's not that I think you won't make it bro, I need this for something else later...
