NickDG 23 #3 October 24, 2006 The first parachute jumps were made many years before the hot air ballon and the airplane were invented. What you are talking about is the first "Skydive" and the advent of charging money either to watch it or do it . . . It's been pretty much down hill for skydiving ever since.
