From parachute + -ist.
Noun
parachutist (plural parachutists)
- Someone who jumps from an aircraft using a parachute, especially as a sport.
1996, Joe Tomlinson, The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Extreme Sports, Carlton Books, →ISBN, page 12:If any of the extreme sports can be considered truly high risk, then B.A.S.E. Jumping is that sport. […] Modern B.A.S.E. jumping is believed to have started in 1978, where daring parachutists first began jumping off of El Capitan, a 3,000 foot (915m) cliff high above Yosemite National Park.
2002, Eric Anderson, The Man Who Cried Orange, page 239:I waited and he came to the point: he wanted me simply to talk to a patient he had inherited, a sports parachutist who had Roman Candled into a tree and broken and disarticulated his back.
2022, Chris Pratt, Four Brothers in the Pacific War:Some hit the rocky outcrops
Some fell into the sea
Some even 'Roman Candled'
(A parachutist I would never be)
