🗼✂️ The Flying Tailor | Forgotten in 30 Seconds #history #facts #didyouknow

Description

In 1912, a Paris tailor named Franz Reichelt believed he had invented a wearable parachute. He called it his “parachute coat” and promised officials he’d test it on a dummy. Instead, he strapped it on himself and climbed the Eiffel Tower. With crowds and cameras watching, he leapt—only for the suit to fold in on itself. Reichelt fell to his death, forever remembered as “The Flying Tailor.” A tragic leap in the name of invention. 👉👉 Forgotten, but true. Follow for more strange stories from history.
