The Parachute Jump is a defunct amusement ride and a landmark in the New York City borough of Brooklyn, along the Riegelmann Boardwalk at Coney Island. Situated in Steeplechase Plaza near the B&B Carousell, the structure consists of a 250-foot-tall (76 m), 170-short-ton (150 t) open-frame, steel parachute tower. Twelve cantilever steel arms radiate from the top of the tower; when the ride was in operation, each arm supported a parachute attached to a lift rope and a set of guide cables. Riders were belted into a two-person canvas seat, lifted to the top, and dropped. The parachute and shock absorbers at the bottom would slow their descent.

  • Le Parachute Jump est une ancienne attraction de fête foraine située sur Coney Island, à Brooklyn, aux États-Unis, dont la structure métallique, d'une hauteur de 76 mètres, est devenue un symbole de l'arrondissement de Brooklyn. Elle est surnommée la « Tour Eiffel de Brooklyn ». Elle a été construite pour la exposition internationale de 1939 qui s'est tenu à Flushing Meadows, dans le Queens, et a ensuite été utilisée au Steeplechase Park, parc d'attractions de Brooklyn. Elle se trouve à proximité du MCU Park, stade de baseball des Cyclones de Brooklyn. (fr)
