IFly Dubai

Last week Assad took me out for surprise date...IFly Dubai in Mirdiff city center...skydiving experience..It's a great experience you basically go into a vertical wind tunnel and the instructor holds on to you and then may let you go for a bit - then the second time around he holds on to you and takes you high into the chamber above. There are upto 5-6 people so you rotate and go into the tunnel for a few minutes and you will have 2 rides.. It is honestly long enough to be in the chamber as the wind is very strong and I suppose it feels like sky diving (haven't done this myself though) without any falling sensation in your stomach.... Before you do it, they give you a quick briefing and you watch a small film and they tell you the position to adopt and the hand signals the instructor will use. Then you get dressed up in the flight suit, helmet, shoes, goggles, etc. before you go in...hmmm...Next time Assad will try it...
