new PARACHUTE
TRIED SAFELY
AT 800 FEET
Local Youths Prove
Success of Design

A newly designed parachute
which will make it safe for an air
plane passenger to bail out" at
an altitude Of not more than 300
feet has been successfully tested
at Capital Airport.
Designed by Mark Willing, of
Mt. Holly. Va, Westmoreland
county, the new principle added
to the regulation parachute in
cludes three large rings about six
or eight inches in diameter which,
circling the cords between the
jumper and the chute, slide
through the silk chute itself and
opens an air pocket which Is sup
posed to open the chute in less
than half Of the time required
by the present parachute.
The human test was made after
more than is tests had been made
with dummy made OF concrete,
in a canvas bag, weighing $50
pounds, which was dropped from
a plane at a height of only 800
feet. In all but three Of the tests,
a safe landing was made. In the
three "flops," however, some Of
the cords became twisted.
The test jumps, dummy and
human, were conducted by Ray
mond Marders, 20, Of 4533 Wis
consin Ave. N. W., a George Wash
ington University student, and
Kim Scribner, Of 3802 Alton Pl.
