    About this Video
    B.A.S.E jumper, Cedric Dumont goes to Šibenik, Croatia, to honour the inventor of the rectangular parachute Faust Vrancic. The history of Vrancic's invention unfolds via Cedric himself, a local historian and tongue-in-cheek reconstructions. Cedric also shares his thoughts on parachuting and BASE jumping, as we relive his previous jumps in Bosnia and Montenegro.
