De welgeslaagde proef werd genomen van den Eiffeltoren te Parijs, met een pop, wegende 75 K.G.; het toestel weegt 21 K.G. de lengte van het touw is 9 M. De aviatuer gaat hangen aan het voor hem geplaatste rek, waaraan de parachute verbonden is. De toekomst zal moeten leeren, of een op deze wijze aangebracht toestel zich snel genoeg ontplooit, of de aviateur intijds daarmede in verbinding kan komen en de kloekheid en tegenwoordigheid van geest heeft, zijn machine te verlaten English: A Parachute, as a rescue device in Airplanes. The successful test was conducted at the Eiffel Tower in Paris with a dummy weighing 75 kilograms (165 lb). The device weighed 21 kilograms (46 lb). The length of the rope was 9 metres (30 ft). The aviator hangs in the designated rack to which the parachute is attached. The future will show if a device like this will deploy in time, or if the aviator can access it in time and has the courage and presence of mind to leave his machine.
