Štefan Banič (23 November 1870 - 2 January 1941) - Slovak designer and inventor. In 1907 he went to America to work as a miner and stonemason in Pennsylvania. His talent for improvement was shown in engineering. In 1912, he witnessed a tragic airplane accident that prompted him to consider how to help pilots. He succeeded in designing the first usable aerial parachute based on the umbrella principle. On August 25, 1914, the Patent Office in Washington, D.C., granted him a patent - the right to manufacture, use and sell the invention in the U.S.A. - after he demonstrated his jumps. The U.S. Army bought the patented parachute, but did not introduce it into aviation equipment. The U.S. Air Force accepted Banich as an honorary member. In World War I, the French pilots of Lafayette Squadron probably also used Banich's parachute. Banich eventually returned to Czechoslovakia and worked in a quarry as a gunner. He was engaged in fruit growing and caving. In 1930 he became a co-discoverer of the Driny Cave. His career as an inventor did not continue.
