Taking your first leap into the world of indoor skydiving is an adrenaline-pumping milestone. At AltitudeX Singapore, we believe that everyone has the courage to soar, and we have designed the entire experience to be as seamless as it is exhilarating. Whether you are a thrill-seeker or looking for a unique way to bond with friends, here is the complete breakdown of what you can expect during your first visit.
The Warm Welcome: Arrival and Check-In
Your journey begins the moment you step into our facility. We recommend arriving at least one hour before your scheduled flight time. This allows for a relaxed check-in process at our front desk. If you haven’t already completed your digital waiver online, our team will guide you through the digital registration process upon arrival.
Once you have checked in, you will be given a wristband to identify your flight group and head into the holding room while waiting for your turn to be briefed.
The Pre-Flight Safety Briefing
Before you enter the wind tunnel, you will be introduced to your instructor and participate in a group safety briefing. Our certified instructors will teach you the fundamental neutral body position, which involves keeping your legs slightly bent, chin up, and arms out. Since the tunnel environment is loud, we use a set of simple hand signals to communicate. You will learn how to respond to signals for straightening your legs, relaxing your posture, or tilting your chin. This session is designed to build your confidence, ensuring you feel prepared and excited for the air.
Gearing Up for Glory
After the safety briefing, you will head to the gearing station. We provide all the specialized equipment you need to fly safely. This includes a fitted flight suit designed to catch the air and help you maintain stability, a high-quality safety helmet to protect your head, and goggles to ensure your vision remains clear while facing high-velocity winds. We also provide earplugs to keep the experience comfortable amidst the roar of the wind tunnel. Please ensure you are wearing lace-up sneakers, as these are required for safety inside the tunnel. This is also the perfect time to store your belongings. For safety reasons, all loose items including jewelry, watches, and pocket contents must be removed before you enter the flight chamber area.
The Main Event: Your Flight Experience
Now comes the moment you have been waiting for. You will enter the flight chamber with your instructor by your side. As you lean into the wind, the powerful vertical tunnel lifts you off your feet. The sensation is unlike a sudden drop; instead, it feels like being supported by a steady cushion of air, offering the pure freedom of flight without the need for a parachute.
Each flight lasts about forty-five seconds, which is actually similar to the freefall of a traditional outdoor skydive from 12,000 feet to 3,000 feet. Your instructor will be right there, holding on to you or signaling instructions to help you maintain your balance. By the second flight, many first-timers find their rhythm and begin to feel the genuine joy of being in motion.
Post-Flight: The Debrief and Beyond
Once your session is over, the adrenaline usually lingers. You will head back to the gearing station to de-suit and receive your flight certificate as a testament to your courage. Our instructors will often provide a quick word on how you performed and how you can progress if you decide to join our advanced flight progression programs.
