The Balloon Suit
These huge jumpsuits slowed jumpers down in freefall
considerably. In this picture the jumper with the giant suit weighed 300 pounds and
the suit kept his fall rate down to almost normal. However these suits with their built in
vents for inflation would sometimes malfunction sending the jumper into a violent spin. Also there
was a problem with Pilot Chute hesitation.
