Wind Tunnel Flying Indoor Skydiving Insurance

What is wind tunnel flying?

Wind tunnel flying, often called indoor skydiving, is a high-adrenaline activity that simulates the sensation of freefall skydiving inside a vertical wind tunnel. Participants float on a powerful stream of air, allowing them to experience flight in a controlled and safe environment. It's popular for both beginners and experienced skydivers looking to improve their technique.
