It looks fun, until you see the price. We have one here in Scottsdale AZ. Two minutes is 70 dollars. Four minutes is 105 dollars. I'll pass....

Chris, I made my own with a tent, a stepladder and an old ceiling fan....... $205 for 20 stitches


Would seriously love to try that though.....It beats throwing yourself out of a perfectly good aeroplane. Sadly, the place I WAS going to try to do a jump with a couple of years ago lost three people in a mid air collision the other day. It's put me off for good now!

What do you call "so old" ?
Last year I did a session of indoor skydiving with my 71 years-old father and my brother.
Granted, we were all ex-skydivers, but I had stopped one year before, and both my father and my brother stopped 10 years before.
Still, we could get all together in the tube after a little individual training with the teacher, and we could enjoy a few minutes of flight. It was pretty cool. The price is expensive, yes, but a bit cheaper than than the equivalent duration of freefall from planes.

For info, with one jump from a plane, jumping from 12.000 feet, you get only 50 seconds of freefall in the best case.
But ok, in the tube you won't get the parachute flight, and you won't get the view either...

I thought 'indoor skydiving' might be a euphemism.

LOL, yeah I would not trust real skydiving. Even if thousands are uneventful each year.
