Wind tunnel flying is the act of being put into a chamber with a vertical wind tunnel, which blasts air at speeds high enough for a person to float above it. The sensation is said to be similar to skydiving and so is referred to as 'indoor skydiving' or 'body flight'.

The winds reach around 120 mph (195 km/h) which is about the terminal velocity of a falling human body.

Wind tunnel flying can be done anywhere around the world, however popular areas include:

• Orlando, Florida, USA

• Colorado, USA
• Montreal, USA
• Latvia
• France
• Manchester, UK
• Milton Keynes, UK

Wind tunnel flying is excellent for people who are afraid of heights but would like to experience a skydiving type experience.

Wind tunnel flying is an extremely safe activity. However, it does exert pressure on the arms, legs, neck and back, so anybody with a history of ailments relating to these areas should consult a professional as to whether it is appropriate to participate.

There are also no age limits on wind tunnel flying, so children and the elderly are free to participate.
