October 22nd is Parachutist Day in Brazil
October 22nd is Parachutist Day in Brazil . This date was chosen in honor of the day in 1947 when the first major parachute jump operation of the Brazilian Armed Forces was carried out, highlighting the importance and value of these professionals. Parachutists are members of specialized units that perform parachute jumps, usually for military operations, but they can also be involved in rescue activities, sporting events and recreational activities. They undergo rigorous training to ensure their safety and effectiveness during jumps, learning how to maneuver their parachutes, how to orient themselves during the fall and how to perform emergency procedures. Celebrating Parachutist Day is an opportunity to recognize and value the work of these professionals.
