Indoor Skydiving | The safer way to Skydive

If you think skydiving is probably a step too far for you to do as a gift experience then why not try the next best thing that even those who feel sick at the thought of a skydive should be comfortable doing, indoor skydiving.

Indoor Skydiving

Indoor skydiving is run by Airkix and is perfect for those who want to feel what it feels like to be fall at hundreds of miles per hour yet are doing it from only a few meters above ground. In specially designed chambers you can kit up and go into what is basically a wind-tunnel pointing upwards, you then have enough air blown out at you at speeds of up to 170mph meaning that you can float there. Obviously you don’t have the jumping out of a plane bit to deal with or the worry about the parachute not opening, you can just have the solo free-fall part of the experience.

Even for anyone who has been on a real skydive or wants to practice to get an idea of what it is going to feel like indoor skydiving is the perfect happy medium to get you there.

The cost of indoor skydiving starts at around £50 for a single or you can have a indoor skydiving experience for two costing around £95.

You may even receive pictures and a DVD of your flights so you can enjoy watching back over them again!

These wind chambers have also now been adapted to take in other sports such as air Zorbing/Sphereing, where the Zorb is kept suspended in the air by the wind and the Zorbing experience takes place while floating around and not while bouncing down a hill.
