If you want a taste of skydiving without the danger, iFLY Indoor Skydiving Dallas can oblige. It offers the same adrenaline-pumping experience as launching yourself out of a plane but in the comfort of a wind tunnel, hovering only a few feet off the ground.

Each iFLY session begins with a quick training, during which an instructor runs down the basics of indoor skydiving. Then skydivers get suited up in safety gear, including goggles, a helmet, and a jumpsuit to protect you from the wind. After you're all ready to go, the instructor fires up the wind tunnel and guides you out over its vertical stream of whipping air, which lifts you from the ground, simulating the feeling of rushing toward earth. Try it out this fall!
