Georgia Broadwick's nickname was "Tiny." She was called "Tiny" because she only weighed only 85 pounds and was only 4 feet tall. Georgia became the first woman to jump from an aircraft. On June 21, 1913 Glenn L. Martin flew her 2,000 feet above Griffith Park in Los Angeles, CA and she jumped. Broadwick was also the first woman to make a water jump from an airplane. She was known to be the first woman to jump from a hydro aeroplane. In 1941 Georgia gave the first demonstration of a parachute jump to the U.S. goverment. Broadwick made five jumps for the goverment. The first four being static line jumps. Problems occurred on the 4th jump when the static line tangled with the airplane. So she cut the line short so it was just long enough for her to pull the parachute pack open after she was clear of the plane. This was determined to be the first premeditated freefall jump by anyone. Because of this the U.S. Army Signal Corps ordered its first Broadwick coatpack. They also initiated a new era in aviation safety. Before her life changing experiences she would think about jumping constantly. Hanging from airplane trapezes and breaking many bones were just the start of her adventures. Georgia was devastated when she finally realized it was time for her to settle down. She died in 1979.
