1837 FIRST PARACHUTE DISPLAY RESULTED IN A DEATH
Robert Cocking (1776 - 24 July 1837) was a British watercolour artist who died in the first parachute
accident. Following Cocking's death parachuting became unpopular, and was confined to carnival and
circus acts until the late 19th century when developments such as the harness and breakaway 'chutes
made it safer.
