      @@zconsci I've done it and there's a springy bottom sort of like a trampoline but sturdier and fewer/thicker wires. It doesn't hurt to hit it. And for the ceiling, you can't hit it because of the way the air flow system works-after the glass ends it disperses more towards the sides so even if you go up super fast you will automatically lose lift after you pass that point. And to what zeu said, there was an instructor to guide the first flights. He let me go and I did occasionally bump the sides but there was no slamming because you use your arms and legs to push back. All in all, super fun experience-if you have the money!

      You don’t have to be that rich. The cost for pro flyers is not that high, it usually about 800 usd for an hour without coaching. But you use it 15 minute chunks, so you can train 15 minutes per week and it will cost you 800 usd per month. Remember, she does it for 10 years now and at this point she probably doesn’t spend any money as she can be sponsored or coach herself.

      Not necessarily. The tunnel in NC started a program for a membership program $500/month which gave you either the potential for 5 minutes a day or 30 minutes per week. So you share your time with someone else and it goes to potentially hours per week. Other places have adopted this. Also most if not all the kids in this sport have parents in the industry. So I’m guessing that her time is greatly reduced or free because of sponsorships.

    a full flight session is 1minute long
    the offer is usually 2 sessions for $90, and the prices can vary on where you go
    I would compare this to horseback riding-as an example of "you can't do it everywhere, and it's expensive to do" but you either can afford to go do it frequently or just have a stable

Both certainly look fun but I believe that indoor skydiving is more where you don’t have to worry about parachutes, and doing flips but the actual skydiving is where you can fly through the sky or clouds, in all I think both are pretty fun.
