Death Jump off the Eiffel Tower: Paris, France (1912)
From the archives of British Pathe this film features Franz Reichelt. A man attempts to test a parachute design by jumping from the Eiffel Tower.
It is slightly bizarre to find a snuff film in the Pathe archives. I assume none of this is a recreation which makes is pretty gory, especially the moments as Reichelt nervously psyches himself up to jump to what will turn out to be his death. Not the easiest of watches.
2/5
