...towel- soggy, bloodstained, ragged-sailed over the top rope of the fight ring in Madison Square Garden, Manhattan. Sock! it landed on the canvas, right at the heels of a battered little man with a streaming gash over his right eye. The little man was rocking to and fro under showers of blows from a furious, compact human whirlwind that flew now at his head, now at his ribs, now at his jaw, now at his pounding heart...

Carefully arranged silk shrouds, made of Japanese silk (the strongest and lightest of textiles) pass continuously from a ring on one side of the harness to the parachute itself and back to the harness again. The pilot sits, then, as if in a swing. He can prevent oscillations, can steer to a certain extent, can avoid trees, buildings and can be almost comfortable. He can, experience has shown again...
