About Parachute Etajè Miral

Parachute se yon etajè miral ki fèt ak fèy metal. Lè yon seksyon ap sèvi, planch seksyon sa a desann epi li rete pandye nan plas li. Planch ki pandye a kenbe yon manto, yon magazin oswa lòt bagay konsa epi li anpeche yo tonbe. Sifas la gen liy koulè ki separe ak ti espas fen, kidonk etajè a fè sonje aparans grafik yon parachit modèn epi li ka konsidere tou kòm yon travay atizay pou mi. Parachute mezire 790 mm nan lajè, 30 mm nan pwofondè ak 220 mm nan wotè. Non an konbine lide pwoteksyon ak lide tonbe.

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.
