iFLY Indoor Skydiving

IWOOT - Stuff you really, really want

Have you ever wanted to try skydiving but don’t think you quite have the nerve to willingly throw yourself out of a plane? The good news is you don’t have to. You can enjoy the thrill and sensation of sky diving with this fantastic introductory experience… indoors.

Imagine a wind tunnel, turned upright, so that the air travels upwards. Now imagine yourself caught in that powerful updraft. This concept is used by the sky diving community to practice their freefall technique before they take to the skies. Now you can try it at one of three locations across the UK. You’ll feel the thrill of being suspended in mid air by a 120mph air stream. This introduction offers two flights lasting 60 seconds each, that’s the same freefall time as three tandem skydives, but in a completely safe indoor environment.

What's Included?

• Safety briefing and instruction including body flying techniques
• Gear hire
• Two flights of 60 seconds duration each
• Flight certificate
• Experience gift pack
• Cancellation indemnity

What happens on the day?

On arrival an hour before your flight time, you will check in and meet your instructor. You will then watch a training video and have a Q and A with your instructor before you being kitted out in a jumpsuit that is provided.

Then it’s time to make your way to the flight chamber. You will receive two flights of 60 seconds each (that’s the same freefall time as three tandem skydives). Enjoy the feeling of being suspended in mid air by the 120mph stream of air.
