GOOGLE DOODLE - 22.10.2013 - 216th anniversary of the first parachute jump

The 216th anniversary of the very first parachute jump has been celebrated in a Google Doodle.
Google has changed the design of its homepage to celebrate Andre-Jacque Garnerin’s jump on October 22 1797 from a balloon above Parc Monceau in Paris.
The Frenchman used a seven-metre silk parachute resembling an umbrella to ease his path to the ground.
When Garnerin’s balloon reached 3,000 feet above the park, he cut his basket loose and opened the parachute.
Visitors to Google’s homepage can now recreate that leap using their right and left arrow keys to guide the path of their parachutist safely towards the ground.
The French daredevil emerged from the basked unscathed, despite it jerking in the air and a violent landing.

Back on Oct. 22, 1797, a Frenchman called Andrew Garnerin became the first person known to jump with a parachute. Wouldn't he be proud to know his legacy is memorialized, 216 years later, by a keyboard-powered interactive Doodle from the world's largest search engine?
OK, there are about 15 words in there that Garnerin wouldn't even be able to comprehend, but why fight it? The two-key game is beautiful, if not quite as addictive as that darn piñata.
And about old Garnerin, here's a helpful article that tells you all you need to know: His first drop was from 3,000 feet, after he was brought aloft by hydrogen balloon; he may have vomited all over the crowd below; his record jump height was around 8,000 feet; and he never once plummeted to his death, though his daredevil hobby did bring about his untimely demise — he was killed in a workshop mishap. There, feel smarter now?

Google commemorates the 216th anniversary of the first parachute jump made by André-Jacques Garnerin with an interactive doodle.
The animated doodle depicts Garnerin in a basket about to make a descent. You have to click either of the two buttons set in a cloud to start playing. You can control the descent of the parachute and determine its landing by using the left and right arrow keys on the keyboard.
Born on 31 January 1769, Garnerin was an inspector with the French army before became a balloonist. He studied under the ballooning pioneer professor Jacques Charles and performed many parachuting trips for exhibitions working mostly with his brother Jean-Baptiste-Olivier Garnerin. Eventually he was appointed Official Aeronaut of France.
Garnerin performed the daring feat on October 22, 1797 at Parc Monceau in Paris using a seven-metre silk parachute. He was lifted up in a basket which was attached to a balloon and after reaching 3,000 feet, he released the balloon to let the parachute unfurled above him.
Although he had a bumpy landing, he emerged unhurt and became the first parachutist.
Garnerin died on 18 August 1823 at a construction site when a beam fell on him while he was building his next balloon.
