- Louis-Sébastien_Lenormand abstract "Louis-Sébastien Lenormand (May 25, 1757 – December 1837) was a French physicist, inventor and pioneer in parachuting. He is considered the first human to make a witnessed descent with a parachute and is also credited with coining the term parachute (from the Greek para – "against", and French chute – "fall"). After making a jump from a tree with the help of two modified umbrellas Lenormand refined his contraption and on December 26, 1783 jumped from the tower of the Montpellier observatory in front of a crowd that included Joseph Montgolfier, using a 14 foot parachute with a rigid wooden frame. His intended use for the parachute was to help entrapped occupants of a burning building to escape unharmed. Lenormand was succeeded by André-Jacques Garnerin who made the first parachute descent from high altitude (in a gondola detached from a balloon) with the help of a non-rigid parachute on October 22, 1797, and his wife Jeanne Geneviève Labrosse who made a similar descent two years later.".
