iFLY Indoor Skydiving Experience - Basingstoke
Overview
What is it? It's flying! Imagine a wind tunnel that can be used for testing the aerodynamics of an F1 racing car, turn it upright, step into the airflow and you are skydiving. It's a proven concept operating in several countries to the benefit of the skydiving community and anyone else who wishes to taste the thrill of freefall in a completely safe environment.
To enter the tunnel, stand in the open doorway and lean forward, you will feel your legs lifted from under you as you assume a horizontal flying position.
The instructor will take a loose grip on your flight suit and help you get into a neutral flying position before teaching you the basic moves.
Movements including going up and down, forwards, backwards, sideways and turning are all simple and easy to master and you will soon be learning new tricks!
To leave the tunnel, simply fly to the second doorway, take a grip on the sides and stand up and you are back in the ante chamber.
In goes the next person and you all shuffle up until it’s your turn again.
The flight time starts at 7.30pm but you must arrive at 6.45pm to allow time for briefing and putting on clothing etc.
All flyers are required to complete a Declaration of Risk before they arrive on the day
Please note: All flyers are required to sign a waiver & there is a weight limit of 18 stone.
Important: Face masks will be required to be worn on arrival and when walking around. However you can remove them when its your turn to fly!
