I’d love to think that he’s smiling beyond death today, his suit may have been very crude but I’d like to think that he was the man who inspired the wingsuit

“That wasn’t flying, that was falling with style”

I love a good feel good tale on a Wednesday!

Just saw the clip where the gets on the ground. It was like the first death ever filmed

Something interesting is that a woman fell from the Effiel Tower onto a car and survived and it was a cold day when Franz jumped so he might have survived if the day was warmer

That's one of the reasons why you should study science, well...

Flying tailor : I believe I can fly
Unfortunately: the Era answered him : NOPE

[NotAvy]

Must say, He had a major breakthrough. On the ground.

I’m telling you don’t trust the process.

Dude if only he used a different fabrics and went a lil higher

[SBlazen]

Got to say his work is pretty groundbreaking 😆

I wonder 🤔
Why didn’t he have a net at the bottom for safety precautions? I’m sure a safety net was invented before 1913!! I think 🤔
