What did you get up to?
An indoor skydiving experience for two. We each had two flights with an option for more at an additional cost because there was time remaining before our session finished.
Prior to arriving at the venue, via email, you are given a link to a safety video, although it is not all serious with some comical acting in the video. The main point being the hand gestures the instructor will do to communicate with you.
Each sky dive lasts one minute, on a tv monitor to your side you can see how much time you have left and the wind speed. One minute may not seem long for each flight, but I did feel it was more than adequate given what you are doing.
The instructor does help give you the best position and within a few seconds (hopefully) it is only a few hand gestures that are needed and help to keep you central, other than that you’ll be in stationary freefall!
Afterwards you are given a certificate, a briefing on how you all did and the option to purchase more flights at another time to progress.
What did you enjoy the most?
The best part was obviously the feeling of floating and for me to adjust my limbs both with instructor guidance and myself making small movements to see what would happen.
Top Tip
1. Wear lace-up footwear, the instructor does ask this before walking to wind tunnel.
2. The instructor does give guidance on the best position to adopt, so don’t feel you may do it “wrong”.
