About Parachute भित्ते तख्ता

प्याराशुट पाता धातुबाट बनेको एक भित्ते तख्ता हो। जब कुनै खण्ड प्रयोगमा हुन्छ, त्यस खण्डको फल्याक तल झर्छ र त्यहीँ झुण्डिरहन्छ। झुण्डिएको फल्याकले कोट, म्यागजिन वा त्यस्तै वस्तुहरू समात्छ र तिनलाई खस्नबाट जोगाउँछ। यसको सतहमा पातला खाली ठाउँले छुट्याइएका रंगीन धर्साहरू छन्, जसले गर्दा यो तख्ताले आधुनिक प्याराशुटको ग्राफिक स्वरूपको झल्को दिन्छ र यसलाई भित्ते कलाको रूपमा पनि हेर्न सकिन्छ। प्याराशुटको चौडाइ ७९० मिमी, गहिराइ ३० मिमी र उचाइ २२० मिमी छ। यसको नामले सुरक्षा गर्ने र खस्ने अवधारणाहरूलाई जोड्छ।

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.
