Odette Rousseau

... that Odette Rousseau almost drowned after landing in a river during a 1955 world record skydive? "Elle ouvrit son parachute à 400 mètres du sol, tomba dans l'Yonne où elle faillit mourir noyée avant d'être repêchée in extremis par le batelier d'une péniche." which I translate as: "she opened her parachute at a height of 400m, fell into the River Yonne where she almost drowned being fished out at the last moment by a bargeman" from: "Mort d'Odette Balési, une des pionnières du parachutisme en chute libre". France 3 Bourgogne-Franche-Comté (in French). AFP. 12 December 2012. Retrieved 10 January 2020. and "In 1955, both Duval and Rousseau-Balési set their sights on the women’s world record for a free fall of 7,200 meters ... An account of Rousseau-Balési’s 1955 world-record jump, in which she bested the previous record with an 8,200-meter (26,902-foot) free fall" from Alioto, Daisy. "When a Woman Falls From the Sky". Topic Magazine. Retrieved 11 January 2020.

I don't expect a copyvio with French sources, hook is interesting and cited, article long enough and new enough. QPQ done, so good to go. Juxlos (talk) 11:08, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
