If you've always wanted to try skydiving but aren't really the risk-taking type, you can get an approximate sensation with
Flyaway indoor skydiving. The experience takes place inside a vertical wind tunnel that simulates the freefall experience of skydiving. You fly in a column of air 12 feet across and up to 22 feet high, with vertical airspeeds up to 120 mph. There is a 20 minute training class and 15 minutes of equipment preparation to get outfitted in a suit, helmet and safety gear, followed by a three minute flight. The experience costs $70 for one person (group rates are available) and is available in Las Vegas, Nevada and Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. It won't replace the real thing but it's a good way to test if you are ready to jump out of a plane.
