Well, that definitely looks like fun. Maybe I could get a very small taste of the experiences of my late brother, who was a paratrooper (101st) and skydiver.
I tried the indoor skydiving once (at age 59), and it was incredibly fun. To address some of the comments above:
• You don’t feel like you’re falling, because you aren’t, you are actually being blown upward by the big fan.
• If the fan suddenly stopped working, you wouldn’t fall into it, because there is a soft mesh floor between you and the fan blades.
• I have never done real skydiving, but one of my coworkers does it a lot and participates in big events with dozens of other people skydiving together; and he goes to the simulator to do his practices, so I guess it must be similar to the real thing.

My body
Is walking in space
My soul is in orbit
With God face to face.In this dive
We rediscover sensationOur eyes are open
Our eyes are open
Wide wide wide!

I don’t think I could handle anti gravity simulators. I don’t like high places.

It’s all fun and games until they turn off the fan.

Be flat reminds me of the joke Sean Astin made in The Goonies.
