Indoor Skydiving - Eloy, Arizona

Indoor skydiving, that's right! SkyVenture operates an indoor wind tunnel in Eloy that allows the participant to experience skydiving without jumping out of an airplane. A group of us decided this would be fun. After spending a little time with the instructor (learning body position and hand signals), we "suited up" and it was off to the wind tunnel. It is powered by (4) 400hp motors that suck air up from the bottom, through the tunnel, and expel it out the top. Body position is everything. The slightest wrong move and your are spinning or bumping into the wall. Check one item off the Bucket List.
