When listening to Coldplay's first album, it suddenly occurred to me to look up the word "parachute."

 

It seems that the name "parachute" comes combining the Italian "parare" (to protect) with the French "chute" (to fall).

 

I thought that was a rather fine name.

I tried to think of devices that protect against falling.

When in use, the plank for the section being used falls, and hangs there.

Your coat, your magazine... this protects them from falling.

 

The sight of looking down on your parachute from up above is rather pleasing, too.
