Indoor skydiving
A bunch of us went indoor skydiving yesterday as part of Magic Dave's bachelor party festivities. It's more like a vertical wind tunnel than anything else but still plenty of fun. It's also surprisingly tiring! I didn't think that 6 minutes would be very much time but by the time we finished I was exhausted and today I'm quite sore from it. The wind rushing up my nose caught me by surprise too. It's also pretty loud and we had to wear earplugs, although that's not really very surprising.
At the end of our session, the safety instructor did a few advanced moves for our our entertainment, where he looked like he was on an invisible trampoline and then spun around like a helicopter while topsy-turvy in the air. I think we appreciated them much more after having experienced for ourselves how hard it is to maneuver under the circumstances.
