Ko te peke parachute tuatahi i roto i te hitori i hangaia e André-Jacques Garnerin, te kaihanga o te parachute, i te 22 o Oketopa 1797. I whakamatauria e Garnerin tana taputapu ma te peke mai i te poraka hauwai 3,200 waewae (980 m) i runga ake o Paris. Ko te parachute a Garnerin he iti noa te rite ki nga parachute o tenei ra, engari, na te mea kaore i whakauruhia ki roto i tetahi momo ipu, kaore hoki he ripcord. Ko te peke tuatahi i te hinga koreutu me te whakatinanatanga ripcord-whakahaerehia kaore i mahia tae noa ki te ra kotahi rau tau i muri mai na Leslie Irvin i te 1919. I te wa i hangaia e Georgia Broadwick te rerenga koreutu i te tau 1914 i te wa i uru ai tana raina tuuturu ki te huihuinga o tona hiku, kaore i whakamaherehia tana rerenga koreutu.
