Title: Indoor Skydiving
Post by: SwiftCat on March 13, 2012, 10:01:42 PM
My family and I are going to Eloy, AZ over spring break and apparently there is an indoor windtunnel where you can simulate skydiving. Sounds fun.

Actually more people die per year in wind tunnels than doing the real thing.

You'd get more "free fall" time with indoor skydiving than real skydiving so it might be worth it.

I did this in Denver a couple years ago.  It was fun, but more difficult than I thought it would be. 

You feel like a real dumbass when the instructor gets in there flying around doing flips after you just tried not to hit the wall for 3 minutes.

Yeah, there's a 250 lbs. weight limit. But why would they have a weight limit unless it already happened.

I'm just going to do the indoor skydiving thing first. And then if I really like it, I'll do a tandem jump.

I'm not worried about this because I'm extremely athletic.

Grandparents have an RV and they travel between AZ, TX, and CO to hit the best weather.
