Indoor Skydiving

iFLY is the world leader in indoor skydiving, operating dozens of wing tunnels globally, including all the iFLY centres in the UK. It was founded in 1998 and has been using wind tunnel to offer everyone the chance to experience the sensations of freefall in a safe, controlled environment ever since.

Indoor skydiving refers to the activity of simulating a true freefall experience without having to leap out of a plane. It all takes place inside a building. A vertical wind tunnel is used to generate powerful currents of air that can go up to 120mph which, in turn, allows the human body to float in the air and achieve that freefall sensation.

Yes. Safety is a top priority when it comes to your indoor skydive, so you will be accompanied by a highly-trained flight instructor during the whole experience. The whole team will ensure you're having a great time in a safe environment. The necessary safety equipment will also be provided before getting in the tunnel.

iflY and the other indoor skydive operators will provide you with a flight suit over your clothes. It's recommended to wear something comfortable that won't restrict your movements, such as trousers and a t-shirt. For footwear, go for lace-up and well-fitting shoes; like trainers or running shoes. Boots, high heels or flip-flops are not allowed.

Indoor skydiving isn't suitable for those under the influence of alcohol or non-prescribed drugs, people who have dislocated their shoulder before, or people wearing a hard cast. If you've suffered any heart problems, back or neck injuries recently, it is recommended to speak with a doctor before flying.
