The wind tunnel is a 120 mph wall of air, easily strong enough to support human weight, creating the sensation of freefall without the need to jump out of a plane. Start off with a safety briefing from an instructor before being kitted out with a specialist flight suit. Then step into the wind tunnel with the instructor and get lifted into the air for two incredible 60 second sessions of body flying. As a comparison - during a skydive from 10,000 feet, expect to experience around 30 seconds of freefall. For some lucky participants, the instructor will jump on the flow and show off some astonishing acrobatics. The flying session will end with a debrief - also get a DVD of the flight to take home.
