The foremost fantasy of most children is to be able to fly. Well if you are afraid of the leap but want to fly then indoor skydiving is the thing for you! Yet even this can put fear in a lot of people.
Procedure: It involves floating on a column of high-speed air inside a tube-like chamber. training session includes a five-minute video, you’re taught the proper posture: back arched, arms above your head and legs slightly bent. It seems easy, but once you get into the chamber, there are so many fluctuations.
Precaution : People with neck or shoulder problems, or previous shoulder separations should avoid it.
How safe?: Dive with SkyVenture, it started in Orlando in 1998. Owner Bill Kitchen made previous wind tunnels safer. His system creates smoother air in the chamber than the old way and a wall-to-wall airflow eliminates the possibility of falling off the column of air. There are nets at the bottom and top of the chamber, but it’s impossible to reach the top because the air disperses as the upper chamber expands.
Rates: First-timers get a training session, rental equipment - suit, elbow and knee pads, helmet, goggles, earplugs - and a pair of two-minute flights for $48. Return trips cost $14 a minute.
This can be the most amazing experience for children as they fly better than adults, they let the wind mold their bodies instead of being whipped by it. Achieving the right balance involves the proper way to hold your body while the powerful wind keeps your body aloft. So if you want to feel free as a bird try indoor skydiving.
