The Crazy Stories... according to Hilaire.

He is the audacious Henry_François_Reichelt. In wanting to test his invention, the #Parachute_Costume, he undertook a heroic, or should I say, a crazy idea, that of testing his invention by jumping from the top of the first platform of the Eiffel Tower, hoping that he would fly. 🤨

After obtaining permission from the Paris city hall for his trial, one fine Sunday morning on February 4, 1912, the esplanade of the Eiffel Tower gathered a fine crowd that day: journalists, police, and especially, the eager curious. In principle, the experiment was supposed to have a mannequin as the protagonist, except our genius had a much #better_bad idea in mind, he positioned himself as the test object. Very confident in his invention, passionate and proud of the journey he had taken so far, a few seconds were enough to take a small breath, meditate before offering himself as a sacrifice by jumping from the top of the first platform of the Tower, at a height of 57 m.

Irony of fate, his parachute never deployed as he had hoped, he crashed to the ground and unfortunately died. A sad end for a passionate inventor who attempted an experiment never tried before, at the cost of his life.
