| WARNING: DISTRESSING FOOTAGE Gaumont newsreel footage, unused/unissued, of the fatal fall of Franz Reichelt from the Eiffel Tower, Paris, France, 4th February 1912. Austrian-born Franz Reichelt was a French tailor, inventor and parachuting pioneer. On February 4, 1912, to test a wearable parachute of his own design, he jumped from the Eiffel Tower, to his death. Franz Reichelt is first shown wearing the parachuteapparatus he designed and invented, before he ascends the Eiffel Tower. He tips his cap. French intertitle: Comme s'il eut pressentl'horrible sort qui l'attendait,le malheureux inventorhesita longuement avantde se lancer dans la vide. English translation: As if aware of the horrible fate awaiting him, the unfortunate inventor hesitateda long time before launching himself into the void. Reichelt stands on the rail of the first platform of the Eiffel Tower, where two assistants attend. Reichelt prepares to jump. He hesitates on the brink for some time, with false starts, back and forth, then jumps. Seen from the base of the tower, Reichelt plummets straight down to his death. Police and others crowd around the body of Reichelt as it is carried away. They then measure the depth of the hole in the frozen ground made by his fall (15 cm).| https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujXkfwM_Ew0| Autor/-in unbekannt Unknown author /collective| [{Image src='https://www.austria-forum.org/cc/images/slim/publicdomain.png' alt='Public domain' align='center' link='https://www.austria-forum.org/cc/public-domain-10.html' target='_blank'}]| Datei:Reichelt.ogv
