Ballooning & Skydiving

Katharina Paulus was a German inventor born in 1868. Her inventions had a huge impact on skydiving as we know it. With the help of her husband, she created a parachute prototype to make their balloon flights safer. This was the first collapsible parachute, which could be folded and packed neatly into a bag. She is also credited with the invention of what later became our modern-day pilot chute.

She logged over 165 parachute jumps in her lifetime. With the accessibility of skydiving these days, that's a commonly achieved number, but in the 1800s and early 1900s that was quite a feat!

Katharina was on a jump with her husband when his parachute failed to deploy and she watched him fall to his death. While grieving, she stayed in bed for months but received thousands of letters of support from admirers requesting that she continue her career as a balloonist.

She then bought four new parachutes and set off on a tour of Europe using the stage name "Miss Polly."

She performed theatrically, using acrobatic feats and even riding a bicycle suspended from a hot air balloon's basket. Paulus became an international success. She made her last parachute jump at age 63 on August 5, 1931.
