response: That's interesting. Also, the military has developed parachuting technology to perform various functions.
original_response: I feel that would be safer.  The military has developed parachuting tech in order to perform a lot of functions
history: I've never tried parachuting before, but it's on my bucket list! Cool! Parachuting is also called skydiving. It sounds exhilarating!  But I'd be worried about the parachute not opening!  It's a scary thought! That does sound scary. Did you know parachuting began back in 1797? Wow, I didn't know it was that long ago!  I think I'd like to parachute over a lot of flat land, away from sharp rocks and things!
knowledge: The military developed parachuting technology as a way to save aircrews from emergencies aboard balloons and aircraft in flight, and later as a way of delivering soldiers to the battlefield.
