Indoor Skydiving
The perfect skydiving experience gift for those people wanting to keep their feet a little nearer to the ground!
Ever wondered what it would feel like to fly? Not sure if you can face jumping out of a perfectly good airplane? Well now you can get to experience the thrill and exhilaration of free fall in a safe environment without the need of a parachute!
Why not try out the new sport of Indoor Skydiving at one of Britain’s Indoor Vertical Skydiving Wind Tunnels in Basingstoke, M. Keynes or Manchester. The skydiving simulator consists of a series of very powerful fans which create a column of air that is strong enough to support your weight thus giving you the sensation of floating. It is totally safe and includes a wire mesh which stops you from getting anywhere near to the fans.
After just a 30 minute briefing you will able to experience the dream of flight and get to try out some aerial manoeuvres! And what’s more, your family and friends will be able to share your experience with you from the viewing gallery.
Indoor skydiving is just like the real thing, so much so that all serious competitive skydivers use the tunnel to refine their techniques and to stay sharp. The introduction of skydiving wind tunnels into this country have helped to strengthen Britain’s ranking at World level culminating with the British Women’s 4-way Skydiving Team winning medals at the World Championships since 1999, taking home the gold on 5 occasions!
What to expect:
Training is simple, taking just 30 minutes and covers the following:
- Basic body position
- Entering and exiting the skydiving simulator
- Signals used to communicate
- Short video
You will be given a jumpsuit, helmet, goggles and ear plugs.
Then you walk with your instructor to the chamber where you will wait your turn to fly.
When it’s your turn, enjoy! Remember to smile for the cameras and wave to your family and friends outside.
After your flight you will receive a certificate and get the chance to purchase any photos you like.
