How long do you get for indoor skydiving? ›

Get your adrenaline pumping and experience the awesome sensation of free fall flight. In the wind tunnel, a minute can feel like a like a lifetime. Be bold, trust your instincts and enjoy the rush twice with two 1 minute flights alongside your expert iFLY instructor.

What Is The Indoor Skydiving Weight Limit? Here at ParacleteXP, our indoor skydiving weight limit is 250 lbs. And most frequently asked follow-up question: Is there a weight limit for skydiving from a plane? Our weight limit for skydiving (for real, for real) is 230 to 250 lbs.

Not exactly. There are certainly quite a few similarities between indoor skydiving in a wind tunnel and outdoor skydiving, but indoor skydiving replicates just one portion of the skydiving experience: freefall. The benefit of indoor skydiving is a freefall time of two minutes and up.

We replicate the skydiving experience and offer flights which are about 1½ times longer than a tandem jump. So each flight is around 60 seconds, often a bit longer but never shorter than 50 seconds. A double flight is about 120 seconds long.

Can you wear jeans for indoor skydiving? While we always advise you to dress for comfort, we also want to keep in mind that indoor skydiving is an active sport. Wearing clothing that is fitted and allows a full range of motion will be your best bet.

Is it difficult to breathe in the wind tunnel? No, it's just like breathing normally actually…..so there is no specialist breathing equipment required. Just relax and breathing will come naturally.

Please arrive comfortably dressed and bring a pair of well fitting lace-up trainers. Avoid collared shirts and any form of slip-on or Velcro footwear. If you're without lace up trainers, we have footwear for hire. If you have long hair, bring something to tie it up and maybe a hairbrush.

Even if you never decide to compete, you'll be harder, better, faster and stronger for the time you put into your tunnel flying… and–dare we say it–quite a bit cooler, too. What's the upshot? Well: Indoor skydiving is as hard as you want to make it–but that's part of the fun! Join us and accept the challenge.

We advise caution before participation in indoor skydiving by any individual, but especially those with a history of shoulder instability.

Early open wind tunnels and modern recirculating indoor tunnels have noise levels that peak at 120-130dBA (Table 2). Newer models reduce noise inside the flight zone to 90dBA, and reduce noise in the spectator area to 65dBA.

Is indoor skydiving painful? ›

Bumps, bruises, and some soreness are the most common risks associated with indoor skydiving – and of course, addiction to the world of tunnel flying!

Indoor skydiving uses something called a 'vertical wind tunnel'. This creates a wind flow that is strong enough to keep you 'floating' in that fast-moving air. The result is a similar sensation to that of a skydive by jumping out of a plane, but you don't actually fall anywhere!

Indoor skydiving is not much different. Each flight is only a minute because it is physically taxing! Your body is not used to what you will be requesting from it, and so, it is best to start slow. In the tunnel, you will be flying your body lying flat on your belly.

For the best experience, it's important to keep your body straight and arched in the air; this will allow you to feel the sensations of freefall in a more stable and intense way. You should also keep your arms in front of you, with your elbows slightly bent.

Don't leave personal belongings and valuables unattended in a public place. Most indoor skydiving facilities provide a locker area for personal belongings. Check with the facility ahead of time about cost and availability of the facility's storage amenities. Dress appropriately for the activity.
