Go indoor skydiving

“It was finally my turn. The instructor pulled me in, and all of the sudden, whoosh!—I was experiencing the full-body version of sticking your head out of a car window. The best part is that it’s physically impossible to look down and see how high you are while you’re keeping your chin up. And that’s when the hand signals, ahem, come in handy: holding the proper indoor skydiving position while battling the wind really did take a lot more effort than I was expecting, and those signals successfully kept me afloat. My second flight—the high flight—was seriously wild. After re-entering the tunnel, the instructor grabbed onto my right arm and right leg, and floated us up to the top. I felt completely weightless, but as soon as I got used to that feeling, we shot back down.”

“From the moment I leaned into the wind of the tunnel, I was flying. Although the instructors have their hands on you most of the time to keep you balanced, you don't even notice it. I just kept thinking in my head, "I'm doing this! I'm actually doing this! Is this what real skydiving looks like? Is my neck skin flopping around and looking gross? What is that hand signal he's giving me? Right, chin up. I'M DOING THIS!" The flight itself only lasted for two-minutes, but I'm pretty sure the grin on my face lasted the rest of the day.”

“They led me into a small room connected to a big glass tube with a huge fan at the bottom and it was really loud because the fan was blowing at like 100 mph. The first person went in and it looked like they were floating. Then it was finally my turn. I “belly flopped” onto the fan and I was flying! But I only had like 2 minutes until I had to stop and let other people go. When it was my turn again they did something different. They grabbed the handles on the side of my suit and then went up to around the top of the tube and then back down and they did that for a few times.”
