Death Jump - Franz Reichelt jumps off the Eiffel Tower
Year1912 DirectorAutor desconocido
One of the most famous flights in the city of lights, that of the Austrian tailor, Franz Reichelt, who showed the effectiveness of a parachute suits in tests with dolls that he had previously performed from the window of his apartment. One day, he got permission to try it out from the Eiffel Tower, but once up there, he wanted to be the jumper, without the help of dolls, and without the Police being able to stop him. His dream: feeling the wings that, like Leonardo, he had dreamed of sewing throughout his life.
