FAQs

Is indoor skydiving worth it? ›

If you're looking for a fun experience that gives you a glimpse of what it feels like to fall through the skies – indoor skydiving is absolutely worth it!

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.

Although leaps and bounds have been made in skydiving safety, yes, indoor skydiving is statistically safer than skydiving. That being said, it's critical to realize the two aren't exactly on the same playing field and the risks associated with each are different.

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.

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

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.

Tips are always encouraged, though not required. The amount is totally dependent on your feelings post-experience.

Indoor skydiving might appear to be easy at face value, especially when you watch the pros flow around the tunnel – but in actuality, it is not easy at all! There's a lot more to skydiving than goes into indoor skydiving.

No, skydiving does not make your stomach drop. This article will go over why you shouldn't worry before taking that leap.

If you have a history of neck, back, heart problems, or have previously suffered a shoulder dislocation or shoulder injury, you should seek advice from your doctor before flying.

Do you wear shoes indoor skydiving? ›

Please arrive comfortably dressed and bring a pair of well fitting lace-up trainers.

Indoor skydiving offers the freedom and excitement of skydiving, but without the jump or hard fall. In the tunnel, your instructor will assist you in leaning directly into the wind flow so you will be lifted up.

What to Wear: Wear comfortable clothes that are not too loose, and closed shoes with socks. We suggest wearing t-shirts with a pair of joggers and lace-up trainers. You will be provided with a flight suit to wear over your clothing along with goggles, shoes and earplugs before your skydive.

FLYING IS FOR EVERYONE

Flyers ages 3 to 103 can indoor skydive. From beginners to seasoned pros, people of all shapes, sizes, and abilities can take flight and have the time of their lives.

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.

In an indoor setting, you can successfully experience the sensation of freefall by flying your body on a column of air within the flight chamber. With indoor skydiving, the body flight mechanics are very similar to skydiving, but you miss out on quite a bit.

The sensation of freefall feels the same on the body whether you're inside or outside, but the views are quite a bit different.
