accident First death ever recorded. Franz Reichelt (1879-1912) (1 Viewer)

[Mickey Swaggart]

For those wondering he was trying to invent the “flying parachute suit” or basically a wing suit.

He asked the city police if he could run a test off of the Eiffel Tower and they said they could do it from its first floor.

They thought he was just going to use a dummy, they didn’t think he himself would be the one to jump.

 

[Racist Bastard]

What a fool to not try it out with a weighted dummy first.

 

[Jizdrop1]

Lolz. Didn't know they knew about shrooms back then. Must have necked a shed load to do that.

 

[Flatus Tube]

He clearly wasn’t very confident in his design. Took him ages to jump, the pussy!

It’s like when kids get in a quilt cover and jump off their beds. A quilt cover probably weighs less and would be more effective 😂.

 

[14ZombiE88]

That's a sizable dent he left, what an idiot.

 

[King-Rory]

I've just googled the height and it said 187 feet so I guess that's enough to make sure you ain't walking away.

 

[Gone crazy back soon]

Look ma, no hands!

 

[Monkman777]

Looking at that, you could tell it wasn't gonna work from the get-go.

 

[SlovakBabe]

shuld hav done more inventions, but hey ho

 

[JG Ballard]

How the hell did he think that was going to work? I was expecting some sort of lightweight board strapped to his back that would have at least had a chance at gliding. Looks like he was wearing all the clothes in his closet.

Does anyone know the name of the piano piece?

Does anyone know the name of the piano piece?

Yes Mudskipper, it's Für Elise by Ludwig Van Beethoven.

I looked like an armchair he had strapped to his back at the start 🤣

That fall looked like something out of an old cartoon.
