A 250-foot steel structure with parachutes in operation is one
of the concessions in the Amusement Area of the New York
World's Fair. Eleven of the 'chutes, each seating two passen-
gers, are to be hoisted by steel cables to the top of the tower
and then released to give the passengers the experience of
bailing out from a winging plane. Insurance of happy
landings" is afforded by "stretchers' which keep the chutes
distended, umbrella - like, and vertical guide wires which
perrnit drops straight earthward without swaying. Shock-
absorbers eliminate the impact of landing. The tower is to
be the second tallest structure in the Exposition. Con-
tract with International Parachuting, Inc. for this diversion
device for Fair visitors was the first one to be signed for an
amusement concession in the Fair.
