Park Albert Van Tassel (b.1853-d.1930) was a pioneering aerial exhibitionist in the United States. Van Tassel made the first balloon flights in New Mexico, Utah, and Colorado[1][2][3][4] and helped invent and introduce methods of parachute jumping from balloons.[5] His efforts helped introduce ballooning and parachuting internationally and also helped introduce women to these sports.[6]
