Indoor skydiving simulator in Rosemont near Chicago

Indoor skydiving in Rosemont – iFLY near Chicago O’Hare

This indoor skydiving activity in Rosemont takes place at iFLY, in the Village at Rosemont area, close to Chicago O’Hare. The package includes two one-minute tunnel flights, which are equivalent to more than 2 real skydives, with ground preparation, gear provided, and instructor supervision throughout the experience.

What the iFLY Rosemont session includes

Before entering the tunnel, a prep briefing explains basic positions and how to react in the airflow, as well as communication with the instructor during the flight. The provided gear includes the flight suit, helmet, and protective goggles. The instructor stays with the participant throughout the session, with a first flight to get your bearings and a second flight after correcting positioning, with a personalized certificate provided at the end.

Wind tunnel and the difference vs. a real skydive

The wind tunnel is a vertical setup that sends a powerful airflow upward to keep your body suspended, so it recreates the freefall feeling, but without an airplane, without altitude, and without a parachute to deploy. The difference vs. a real skydive is simple: in the tunnel, you mainly work on body position and stability in a controlled environment, while a real skydive adds the airplane climb, the exit into open air, altitude, then the canopy descent until landing. The indoor skydiving simulator is enjoyed by beginners as well as experienced skydivers.
