Indoor Skydiving – Skydiving Without a Parachute or an Airplane

Laura — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 22:02:41 +0000

There is skydiving and there is skydiving for the less courageous ones. That’s sort of like a parachute jump, without a parachute, airplane nor jump. If you think you wouldn’t really jump from an airplane and you want a cool sensation try indoor skydiving. It’s like normal skydiving! Well, not really.. In this case they are using wind tunnels (the wind speed reaches more than 250km/h) in order to simulate the experience and you will miss the hills and those big bad buildings you would see from the plane ready to crash you.

The only ‘must’ in order to jump is not to have any heart problems or major health problems. Most of the centers give you an instruction before blowing you up the tunnel. Don’t worry, it is not dangerous and you can breath normal. Even young kids can do it. The experience is cheaper than bungee jumping.

Romania doesn’t have such a center yet, but we found some in other places in Europe. If you get around there, don’t skip this experience.

At a real jump, the free fall lasts about 30 seconds. So don’t get scared if the “jump” doesn’t last long.

This is what it’s about::
