Oak Ridge North is now home to the Houston area’s second indoor skydiving facility, iFly Indoor Skydiving.
The facility gives the daring the opportunity to experience skydiving in an indoor wind tunnel rather than having to jump out of an airplane. iFly creates free fall conditions in which participants float in a 60-foot vertical glass wind tunnel.
The wind tunnel is 14 feet in diameter and generates a wall-to-wall cushion of air, iFly lead instructor Nick Riedl said.
Riedl said anyone is able to fly in the glass wind tunnel and no experience with skydiving is necessary. In addition to accepting individual flyers, the facility also hosts birthday parties, education field trips, corporate events and team-building events. Professional skydivers also make use of the wind tunnel for practice.
