Manchester
Indoor Skydiving
Safely float in an 800-horsepower vertical wind tunnel that generates a wall-to-wall cushion of air commonly used by professional skydivers at iFLY Manchester without having to jump from a plane.
Once inside the flight chamber, a tunnel operator slowly increases the wind speed until you and your instructor are airborne. Feel the adrenaline rush as you float at wind speeds reaching 130 to 175 mph (209 to 282 kph). The stable wall-to-wall airflow keeps you from falling off the column of air and your instructor is on hand at all times to guide you.
No experience is necessary and just about anyone can fly (above 3 years of age, and if you weigh less than 18 stone/114kg, are not pregnant, have not previously dislocated your shoulder, are not under the influence of alcohol or non-prescribed drugs, and are not wearing a hard cast).
The entire indoor skydiving experience takes about 90 minutes from start to finish. Each session includes up to 6 people, but you fly one-on-one with your instructor twice - the same freefall time as three tandem skydive!
