How safe is the Fort Lauderdale Indoor Skydiving Experience?

The unique design of the wind tunnel, with its wall-to-wall air column, along with certified and highly-trained instructors, allows you to safely enjoy your flight. Your instructor is with you the entire time regardless of your level of experience.

What is a Wind Tunnel?

Very simply, a wind tunnel is a machine that moves a lot of air. A vertical wind tunnel moves air in a vertical column at speeds high enough to keep a person safely floating.

How early should I arrive for the Fort Lauderdale Indoor Skydiving Experience?

It is important that you arrive on time for your scheduled session. Your experience will begin promptly upon your arrival so please plan to arrive 10-15 minutes early for your reservation so you have time to check in.

Do I fly alone or with a group during the Fort Lauderdale Indoor Skydiving Experience?

Generally, a group of up to 12 guests fly in each session. Your friends and family will be part of the same group, however, you will fly one at a time in the flight chamber one-on-one with your instructor.

How long is each flight during the Fort Lauderdale Indoor Skydiving Experience?

Each flight within the wind tunnel lasts 60 seconds. The entire iFLY first-time flyer experience takes approx. 1 hour and 30 minutes from start to finish.

Can I bring family/friends to watch, but not participate in the Fort Lauderdale Indoor Skydiving Experience?

If someone chooses to come to watch, he or she is welcome to accompany you through your experience and can watch from the observation area.

Is it scary during the Fort Lauderdale Indoor Skydiving Experience?

Generally, no. There’s no jumping, no falling, and no experience is needed. You simply float on a column of air. There is no sensation of falling or anything that would make you feel motion sickness.

Is it hard to breathe during the Fort Lauderdale Indoor Skydiving Experience?

Not at all. It is the same as if you stick your head out a car window while driving. All you feel is the wind in your face. Just breathe normally, either through your mouth or your nose.

Is the Fort Lauderdale Indoor Skydiving Experience appropriate for younger children?

Flyers can be as young as 3 years of age and there is no upper age limit. Children under 18 years of age need to have a parent or guardian sign their waiver.

Are there any weight restrictions to participate in the Fort Lauderdale Indoor Skydiving Experience?

Participants must weigh less than 300 pounds. Any guests who weigh between 260 and 300 pounds must notate current weight in the "Special Requirements" box at checkout to avoid delays upon arrival.

How tall do I have to be to participate in the Fort Lauderdale Indoor Skydiving Experience?

There are no height restrictions to fly!

What should I wear for the Fort Lauderdale Indoor Skydiving Experience?

Please wear well-fitting, lace-up sneakers, or running shoes. Wear casual clothes, preferably pants and a shirt without a collar. You will wear your flight suit on top of your clothes. Anyone with long hair should wear it braided and in a low bun.

Can I participate in the Fort Lauderdale Indoor Skydiving Experience if I am pregnant?

For safety reasons, women who are pregnant should not fly.

Do I have to do the training session to participate in the Fort Lauderdale Indoor Skydiving Experience?

All first-time flyers are required to take the training class. You’ll get a lot of important and helpful information as well as some pre-flight practice of your flying position.

Can I wear my glasses during the Fort Lauderdale Indoor Skydiving Experience?

Yes. There are larger goggles that fit over eyeglasses available for use.

Will I need to take off my watch and jewelry to participate in the Fort Lauderdale Indoor Skydiving Experience?

You should remove any items that might flap around or become loose, such as earrings, necklaces, bracelets, watches, rings, and hair accessories. You should also empty your pockets. Lockers are available, but it's best to leave valuables at home.

Why do I need to wear a flight suit during the Fort Lauderdale Indoor Skydiving Experience?

For safety - the instructors are trained to grasp the handles of your flight suit should you need spotting.

Can I do flips and tricks in the tunnel during the Fort Lauderdale Indoor Skydiving Experience?

The primary concern is for your safety in the flight chamber so the tricks or flips are for experienced flyers only. Some flyers are able to do turns or move around during their first flight. Ask your instructor how to advance your flight skills.

Disappointed

Jorgelina_T, Jul 2025

Didn’t say how ridiculous short the experience is! The answer that 60 sec is the time you are in the air when you go skidiving isn’t enought to justified the price

GABRIELA_C, Jul 2022

Our instructor (Diego) is fantastic! Gave us the confidence to do it, not one, but twice. Took good care of all of us, safety first. Very exciting experience.

Milking of your money

Eric_G, Apr 2022

Fun for the family. Although they will milk you for $20 dollars extra to fly higher for about 10sec… in addition, they will milk you for more money to buy video… did not like the milking!

Response from Host, Apr 2022

Hi Eric, we’re glad you enjoyed flying with your family overall and we're sorry if we came on a bit strong. Our optional add-ons are meant to help you customize and enhance your experience, and we're sorry it had the opposite effect. Not every flyer wants to go up high or needs a video, etc, so we do leave these as add-on experiences so each flyer can curate their perfect experience. We do appreciate your feedback and we hope to fly with you again and earn back those additional 2 stars.

Flying high

Cameron_S, Apr 2022

I-Fly with the Barnes Family

Michael_B, Apr 2022

Our Lead Instructor, Trainer, and the Shift Supervisor (Mr Michael Masters) in the Davie, Florida facility provided my family and I a world class I-fly experience. He took the time to explain and train me in the high flight. He made my experience so enjoyable I purchased 12 more flights at the end of my session. Thank you to the I-Fly team for a great family time. V/R Mike B.
