Freefall Simulator!

For your additional entertainment - only available to those taking part in our skydiving courses!

A highly enjoyable activity allowing you to experience the sensations of free fall without actually having to jump out of an aeroplane!

The purpose of the course is to introduce you to the art of body flying (which skydivers use in freefall) by working through the following training syllabus whilst flying in our on-site vertical wind tunnel freefall simulator.
