indoor skydiving

Tubular wind floating

Indoor skydiving is a recreational activity that simulates freefall using a vertical wind tunnel.

Powerful fans generate an upward airstream strong enough to suspend a human body, allowing the floating and maneuvering sensations of skydiving without jumping from an aircraft.

The activity serves both as entertainment and as training for actual skydivers: We tried indoor skydiving for her birthday.
