Double Parachute Simulator -
£59.00
- Only experience of its kind in the world
- 150 ft freefall indoor parachute simulator
- Not only 1, but 2 goes!
Brand new for 2008 this unique experience is the only one of its kind in the world. The experience has proved so successful as part of the Awesome Foursome package that we are pleased to now be able to offer it as a stand alone experience. Based on the early parachute descenders, this state of the art up to date modern adaptation, is a real heart stopper. From the top of the abyss you will take a leap of faith from 150ft. You will experience the feeling of unattached freefall until you reach the final 30ft where the simulator kicks in and slows you gradually to a soft landing.
Experience Content
You will start this experience by first climbing the 143 to the jumpstation. With harnesses and equipment checked, you are attached on your back, to the simulatore. Then you just step off 150ft into the The Abyss. Falling at 97% of gravity your heart will be in your mouth as your descent is slowed down in the last 30ft allowing you to work back on Terrafirma. What a rush. To get the full effect though climb the stairs again straight away to do it all again. Merchandise and photos will be available to purchase on the day.
