In the early 20th century, inventors were willing to try anything to solve safety concerns—even attaching parachutes to hats! Enter the Parachute Hat, an invention that was supposed to save lives by deploying a mini parachute from a person’s head in case they fell from a great height. In this video, we explore the fascinating and utterly bizarre history behind this wild invention. While the concept seemed promising, the execution was far from practical. The tiny parachute wasn't nearly enough to slow down a fall, and the hat itself was heavy and awkward to wear. Though it never caught on, the Parachute Hat remains a quirky reminder of human ingenuity and the lengths inventors will go to solve problems—even when their ideas don’t quite work out.
