It was recorded that "there was enough air in the folds of his cloak to prevent great injury when he reached the ground."<ref>{{cite book |last=Moolman |first=Valerie |title=The Road to Kitty Hawk |publisher=[[Time-Life Books]] |year=1980 |isbn=9780809432608 |location=[[New York City|New York]] |pages=19–20}}</ref>
