André Jacques Garnerin, first man to descend in a parachute, standing in the gondola of his parachute waving a French flag after release from his balloon (shown deflated at left). His balloon had ascended from Parc Monceau in Paris, October 22, 1797. André-Jacques Garnerin (January 31, 1769 - August 18, 1823) was a balloonist, inventor of the frameless parachute, and Official Aeronaut of France. A student of the ballooning pioneer professor Jacques Charles, he was involved with the flight of hot air balloons, and worked with his brother Jean-Baptiste-Olivier Garnerin (1766-1849) in most of his ballooning activities. He began experiments with early parachutes based on umbrella-shaped devices and carried out the first parachute descent (in the gondola) with a silk parachute on October 22, 1797 at Parc Monceau, Paris. He visited England in 1802, with his wife Jeanne Geneviève, during the Peace of Amiens and the couple completed a number of demonstration flights. He died in 1823, at the age of 54, in a construction accident when he was hit by a beam while making a balloon in Paris.
