Description

Imagine a wind tunnel that could be used for testing the aerodynamics of an F1 racing car, turn it upright, step into the airflow and you’re bodyflying! It’s a proven concept operating in several countries to the benefit of the skydiving community and anyone else who wishes to taste the thrill of freefall in a completely safe environment. Now you can experience the joy of human flight by easing yourself onto a 120mph air stream.

Bodyflying Explorer As Discovery except four flights of 1 minute each (that’s the same freefall time as 6 tandem skydives) What happens on the day

On arrival you’ll be required to sign a statement of risk confirming that you’re in a reasonable state of health and fitness (Participants under the age of 18 will require a parent’s or guardian’s signature). Then you’ll meet the instructors who’ll run through all the fundamental training required before you can fly – this session is good fun! Instructors will then help you to ‘kit-up’ in a flight suit, helmet and goggles - then it’s on to the wind tunnel where you’ll experience your flights. After your flights, you’ll be presented with a DVD of your flight as well as a flight certificate signed by the instructor.

FAQ

Q: How long do I have to use the voucher?
A: The voucher is valid for 9 months and you must take your experience before it expires. (Please note that this is not applicable to Options Vouchers: for these, you simply have to select your chosen experience within the nine months of voucher validity, you will then receive an experience-specific voucher with nine months validity).

Q: Can I exchange my voucher?
A: You can exchange your voucher for another experience, but only if you haven’t previously extended or exchanged it. We are also not able to exchange your voucher once you have made a booking with one of our suppliers or if your voucher has expired. Please note that vouchers may only be exchanged once.

Q: Can I extend my voucher?
A: Yes, you can extend the voucher for another nine months for an administration charge of £20.00.

Q: How do I book my experience?
A: We will provide you with the exact locations and contact information of our centres once you have purchased the experience voucher(s). For most of our experiences you will book directly with the centres.

Q: Are there any restrictions on taking part in the experiences?
A: Some of our experiences (typically driving or flying experiences) have weight or height restrictions, which are usually dictated by the vehicle or aircraft in which the experience will take place. Others may have an age restriction for insurance or legal reasons (but don't worry, we have lots of ‘Junior Friendly’ products so small people needn’t miss out). Some of our driving experiences may also require a full UK or EU driving license. The majority of our experiences require you to be in a reasonable state of health and fitness, some (such as Tandem Skydive, Parachute Jump and Scuba Diving) require more detailed medical information. If you are in any doubt about your ability to take part in any of our experiences, please contact the centre directly and check before making your booking. Alternatively, our Customer Services team will be happy to advise you on the suitability of experiences.

Q: What if I am not happy with my experience?
A: If for any reason you are unhappy with any aspect of your experience, you should bring it to the attention of the supplier on the day so that they have the opportunity to resolve it immediately. If you are still unhappy, however, please write to us explaining the circumstances, and we will undertake to investigate it further for you.
