Video above is of Franz Reichelt in 1912, a tailor who dreamt of creating a suit for aviators that will convert into a parachute. The first (and last) human test run was conducted by himself from the first platform of the Eiffel Tower. His parachute failed to deploy and he crashed to his death into the icy ground at the foot of the tower where he, apparently, left a dent/hollow (literally and symbolically).
