That look quite fun. Now I gotta find one of those near me.
I do have a couple of vacuous questions.
Would it be cooler if they threw you out at the top of the machine to better provide the user a greater sensation of actually jumping from a plane?
When it comes to their helpers, do they always have to have fat ones to keep them from floating away of can they install weights on the skinny ones? How mad would they get if I tried a barrell roll?
Their website has a locator tool, but here are the ones in or near VA. (There's also one in Charlotte, NC).
As to your questions:
1) No, because not knowing how to correct, you'd probably end up bouncing off the wall(s), support base, or both. That said, those with practice can fly themselves up into the tube with little effort. The instructor grabbed hold of me and we went up 20' or so.
2) If you look at the picture again, you'll see a girl with long hair sitting on a bench. She was the next instructor in, and I can promise you, she was *anything* but fat. I realize you're being facetious, but anyone can stand vertically in the tunnel. You only float when you provide enough resistance for the air to lift you. For reference, my wind speed was about 100-102 MPH.
I started tearing down the '99 intake so I can clean it up, paint it, and prep the gasket surfaces. This would've had me scratching my head when I went to install the new injectors.
It is *really* stuck in there. I'll have to get a piece of wooden dowel or something to drive it out.
