Indoor Skydiving

I went to an indoor skydiving place this morning. You float on a blast of air. The place is called Flyzone. It was pretty cool. I took this video of my son doing his ride.

What holds the holding guy down? Where is this?

Done with mirrors?

The guy holds you from blowing too high or spinning around. Once you get good at it you are by yourself. Google Flyzone and check it out.

Here is the link to Flyzone:

Once you or your son graduates from that aspect of flight, maybe the following is in order:

Not to worry, it is only $200K for a sub orbital flight and they already have reservations for 400+!

O.K. I’m still trying to wrap my head around this. State funded $200 million for the pleasure of those that can afford $200k to take a superficial flight. God please tell me what is right with this picture.

While you have a valid question, it would be a misunderstanding that the Spaceport was built strictly for the amusement of the wealthy. The State of New Mexico took a flyer on the commercial viability of this venture. While it remains to be seen just what the success may be, NASA recently signed up for flights:

Bob did you try it?

Yes I did however my back didn't appreciate it and I was laid up for a couple of days afterwards. Getting too old for this stuff I guess...........jaja

common on your still a young guy. I saw in in Vegas but didn't have the time to try it but it look like it was worth the pain
