Early adventurers tried many attempts to create interesting flying machines.  Australian tailor Franz Reichelt tried to create a parachute like overcoat which it’s wearer could gently land on the ground.  On February 4th, 1912 from the first deck of the Eiffel Tower (which is 60 meters / 90 feet above street level) he went to demonstrate his invention.  Unfortunately he didn’t succeed and media cameras recorded him falling to his doom!
