I actually went indoor skydiving today. It’s so fun! And it doesn’t give you the feeling that your falling, just floating.
To be fair-skydiving doesn’t give you the feeling you’re falling either. The only difference is that you don’t get the spectacular views in a tunnel as you do at 18k feet 😂
Should definitely go the extra step and try real skydiving! You won’t regret it!
@@Cdubp01 Fiy, falling and floating are the exact same things
@@surrreyi Uhh, except they’re not..?
@@Cdubp01 When you fall, it will feel like like it's 0 g because when you are free falling, it's same as floating in space
Imaging being here and a power outage happens
It wouldn't actually be that dramatic. The wind would die down slowly; it wouldn't be like someone puling the rug out from underneath you.
@@indoorskydivingtips8192 Man that's a relief
They probably have a power generator somewhere
I thought the same thing and went there and it actualy slows down slowly
@@Mackkofficial thats good
This is one of the things on my bucket list
It was for mee,now I need to fly outta of a plane!!!
Someone needs to make a 100-200 yard tunnel that you can fly through horizontally.
That would probably be similar to a regular wind tunnel that is used to test structures in high winds.
And then it throws you out into a lake!!!
@@scorpionblade4112 electricity idiot
Imagine arena with fans at the bottom.imagine playing tag
@@JCTHEKIDDD YOOOOOOO
This is exactly how i describe the movement i get in my dreams, i feel nearly buoyant and as if i have low gravity, it’s genuinely the best feeling ever and i want to try this so badly
Omg! I also get dreams like that and feel like I would be good at indoor sky diving!
i always fly in my dreams- even in lucid dreams i know how to fly for some reason-
Igual, se siente tan bien, nada se puede comparar a volar.
@@whoatemynutella7139 Some people on my dreams were impressed of me flying and changing the weather, very gracile movements. Flying very high is scary but yolo.
Whenever I try to fly in my dreams I hit the ground and wake up
Just to let you know. This is amazing
My son at 12 years old mastered this at ifly Whitby in Canada . Took him a year but he rocks
Omg this looks so fun and scary at the same time. Thats only because I have a fear of heights. I really want to try this with my family and friends😂
actually, that's impossible cuz that means you have to have a fan on the sides, then you won't have a tube
@@Supyisiscool no I just went there’s one on the top and bottom bigot
The employee he was talking to had the same voice as Jim Halpert
they should put a pic of like grass on the ground and clouds on the sides ☁️ . That’d be lit
Very good stuff! Thank you for sharing. :D
Taking my 7 year old there tomorrow for her birthday! Can’t wait comes with a video recording too! Going to surprise her and pull her out of school! She always tells me, “daddy why can’t we fly? I wanna fly for my birthday!”
How did it go?
@@JDdaFilmer one of the best experiences ever! The thought had her excited but once we got past the training she got really scared and didn’t want to go.. she had to over come her fear and trust me and the process and the end was priceless! She still talks about it till this day and we do a lot of things!
I felt that those were some beautiful words that came out her mouth I’m turning 30 in a couple weeks I plan on doing this for my birthday as well but the outdoor one.
I've always wanted to do this ever since I watched that one episode of Fetch with Ruff Ruffman where the kids were flying and stuff.
My daughter is currently at iFly Scottsdale with her 5th grade class and this company basically gave them a 75% discount per kid. The STEM activities seem really slamming as well. This place seems awesome!
I just took my two younglings there, and it was amazing! The suspense is what's gets you the most. Once you're in there it's a smooth ride. 🤙🤙
How long are you in there for? 10min or so?
I don't remember but it isn't very long. Definitely, not 10 nor 5
Who would have thought the creators of Charlie and the Chocolate factory saw this coming?
I never thought I could fly but the Ifly make it happen for me. It was an amazing day to have Ifly indoor flying experience. Highly recommended.
I seen some TH-camrs Skydiving after mastering this is it’s insane you can actually fly with real skydiving just look up “freestyle skydiving “
this was so fun when i did it in el paso texas.
We went today and it was fun!
This is so cool I was doing research because it will be me and my brothers first time this month trying this ! 😄
I’m afraid of heights and the falling makes my tummy go rumbling. But will do try this soon. Overcome my fear🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Awesome.
Seems fun, might try it one day. Obviously indoors!!
I went to ifly Manchester in England and I did something called a high flight where your instructor brings you to the top of the wind chamber through floating and spinning in a 360 degree rotation
Wow amazing👍
I've been there! It's super fun. Before you dive they teach you these few sign Language signs to help you know what ur doing. Bcuz we can't talk now ole diving. It's SO fun I hope I go there again
Hi where is it?.
I’m going here on Monday for a boy scout trip and I am so excited
Very exciting
I’m going on a field trip here tomorrow, im soooo excited
LUCKY (NOT)
Just did this today and I did everything they told me not to do 😂
utensils zero flesh ; how delicate that would've been to behold
I live about 30 minutes from the Westchester location. Def wanna try soon
0:30 and 2:47 I'm going to do that the whole time! Layups for the WIN!!!!
Muteki you have to be more experienced lol.
This is so much fun.
This was probably the anti-gravity machine Michael was talking about
haha
sauce?
I can’t wait to try it 😊
Looks like Great Fun ❤🎉
I love how he went in there before he knew for sure that there wasn’t a fan at the top that would slice you to pieces if you hit it.
amazing
I wish i could go there and walk on the walls so i’d feel like a pro parkour
I saw the building in ny and came here instantly...Never heard of this before. lol
i would love this!
I wanna try this!!!! So cool 😎 I wanna fly like Peter Pan!
I just went! That exact place! That same guy! It was so fun
I’ve been there it is really fun.
Planning to go in a few days ❤❤❤
I might go indoor skydiving for my 21st birthday so it will be fun
Sick bro
Looks fun.
it is!
I went there and I love it
We had so much fun at Universal CityWalk Hollywood, CA
So much fun!!!!
Weird, one just opened in West Chester, Ohio too
I went here today such a amazing experience I didn’t go to this one but I went back in California for the 129th time i recommend going
I have one close to me I need to try this!
I did this in Melbourne it was sooo scary but fun as well
I just did the IFLY Virginia Beach and it was amazing !!!!
Can a 28 year old go for his birthday? Idk ooo it’s for kids
I’ve always wanted to do this stuff
Nice video
There's something like this at Hollywood Universal City Walk, Sadly It was at the end and by the time I got there all the money we brought was spent :(
Definitely want to put me gopro on and try this
I’m doing this for my bday
It’s so fun I did it too
Idid it for my bday too
Same
Same.
Same it’s my 13th bday
very cool epic indeed
Cool not far from me gotta check this out
damm u guys are goooood
I went to iFLY before and I was freaking out
That’s cool
I went there yesterday
This could actually be cheaper and easier to learn than jumping from an aircraft
It not easier or cheaper
Not easier but it is slightly cheaper. 1 flight if you own your own equipment and pack your own parachute is approximately 28$ which is around 45 seconds of free fall. Indoor skydiving at ifly is approximately 18$ per minute.
@@IvyDaniele true
It’s really good for people who are scared of heights.
I’m going there very soon
I go on crazy rides at six flags so I would definitely do this
Its not like a roller coaster
My bff is having an indoor skydiving bday party 🥳 I can’t wait 😊
Did you have fun?
I had the best time ever!!! It was amazing 😉 I would definitely reccomenf it
Heidi M do you only get to go in the thing once?
You get 1 go of just getting used to it then after everyone else has had that go, you go again but this time, you get the choice to go up the tube which I definitely recommend! ( not if your scared of hights)
what an engineering build of the ages fiber optic projected goes nobody in the year of grand opening in America
Bring it to Illinois!!
They have one of these in Cincinnati
I'm sure that looks fun
I would love to have one of these in my house, but it would probably cost like a lot lol
I have a propensity for herniated disks in my lower back. Would this be beneficial or no?
I’m going this weekend
How was it? I'm doing it this Sunday on my birthday 😅
Nice
come and try clymb abu dhabi... the world biggest indoor skydiving... .32ft 9.7 mtrs (wide) and 104ft 31mtrs (high).. it has a 16 fans. wish you'll try our humble clymb.
I fly is really good indoor skydiving is kinda like inverted synchronised swimming
Epic
I have been to one it is so fun
i flew there for the first time today and my whole body sore.. wanna go again tho
I'm going there for my tenth birthday
It's fun, my brother just went for his 11th
Nice I'm gonna be nine soon
I went there for my tenth birthday too
Went there for my tenth too. I’m going again for 14th :)

Going to the Virginia one next month with my girlfriend...so excited cuz im scared of heights 😂 go figure...run towards your fears 💪🏼
I see that was 8 months ago. How was it??
Imagine being able to fly 🤣 after this
I was there yesterday
they have one in CO it is very fun
Falling from the top
My birthday is in a few days so I might go here! There is one near where I live 🥳
I did this today for my birthday I can't even explain how it was it was very fun though
Imagine if some studio can create a Video game based on this technology, Suppose you are in a vr game and playing as Superman, when you control your character to fly in the game, you fly and feel like flying in real indoors.
This is how it feels when you get sucked by a tornado!
I'm going there today
Like a hawk! 🦅
i do this as a sport its rely fun
Soo,why can,t I do this with a pacemaker and eye implants amongst other health issues( broken back in 3 places and Five ruptured discs)
I’m going there next week.
Was it fun
