About Parachute Seilf Bhalla

Is seilf bhalla é Parachute atá déanta as miotal leatháin. Nuair a bhíonn rannóg in úsáid, titeann planc na rannóige sin anuas agus crochann sé san áit. Coinníonn an planc crochta cóta, iris nó earraí den chineál céanna agus cuireann sé cosc orthu titim. Iompraíonn an dromchla stríoca daite atá scartha ag spásanna tanaí, sa chaoi go gcuireann an tseilf cuma ghrafach paraisiúit nua-aimseartha i gcuimhne agus is féidir í a léamh mar ealaín bhalla freisin. Tá Parachute 790 mm ar leithead, 30 mm ar doimhneacht agus 220 mm ar airde. Nascann an t-ainm smaointe na cosanta agus an titim le chéile.

Inspiration
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.
