Hermann Lattemann (September 14, 1852, Gebhardshagen near Braunschweig - June 17, 1894, Krefeld) was a German balloon pilot and inventor who experimented with an early prototype of a parachute. Together with his wife Käthe Paulus, Lattemann designed a parachute prototype in an attempt to make balloon flights safer. The main invention was to have parachutes folded and packed in bags. Lattemann died during a test.〔Soden, Garrett (2005). ''Defying Gravity: Land Divers, Roller Coasters, Gravity Bums, and the Human Obsession With Falling'', New York: W. W. Norton & Company. ISBN 0-393-32656-X〕 At age 42, his parachute failed to open, although his wife's parachute did open, when they both jumped out of a balloon named "Fin de Siècle", and she watched his fall in horror. Little or no money was made from this invention following his death, but during world war I improvements made by his wife and sold as ''Paula's parachute'', made her a fortune, lost later on due to inflation.〔(Early Parachutes ) including images of the ''Paula's Parachute''. She had patented the improvements in 1910, and in 1912 opened a company in Berlin manufacturing 7000 parachutes. (South African Military History website)〕 ==References==
