iFLY Sacramento: A Closer Look
iFLY Sacramento is home to a 12-foot (3.7 m) recirculating Generation 7 tunnel from manufacturer, iFLY Tunnel Systems (formerly, SkyVenture), an advanced wind-tunnel that uses closed-loop tunnel technology for unbeatable safety and efficiency. It boasts the latest advancements in engineering, design, and safety features that make it one of the most advanced vertical wind tunnels of its kind.
The facility opened in May 2016 and quickly became one of the most popular and sought-after indoor skydiving locations in California. It is the only place to go indoor skydiving in Sacramento, and along with iFLY SF Bay, the only wind tunnel in the northern half of the state.
iFLY Sacramento offers an experience like no other, and it has earned a reputation for being the most thrilling and exhilarating adventure attraction in Sacramento.
The facility is located just east of the I-80, in a shopping center in Sacramento’s Roseville suburb.
The Indoor Skydiving Experience
From beginning to end, the entire indoor skydiving experience is designed for maximum thrill and excitement. Before donning the specially designed flight gear, iFLY instructors guide guests through a comprehensive briefing that covers the fundamentals of safety, proper body position, and communication signals inside the wind tunnel.
After gearing up, you step into the tunnel and feel the rush of air as it lifts you up and gives the sensation of free-falling through the sky. You'll be accompanied by a qualified iFLY instructor throughout the whole experience.
Is Indoor Skydiving Safe?
It's natural for some to have concerns when it comes to indoor skydiving safety. However, iFLY's facilities are designed for incredibly high levels of safety. All instructors are trained and qualified with the International Bodyflight Association (IBA) to assure only the highest standards of safety inside the wind tunnel.
In addition to this, iFLY is a company with a long history of building wind tunnels and improving the safety of their facilities since 1998. The Generation 7 tunnel from iFLY makes up for a large number of their tunnels around the world and has been designed with the latest safety features and technology.
The Rise of Indoor Skydiving in California
California has seven wind tunnels, with one of the most recent additions being iFLY Sacramento. Wind tunnels are essentially giant vertical fans that generate a controlled column of air, strong enough to carry human beings. This allows anyone, regardless of age, size, or skill level, to experience indoor skydiving without risking their life in the process.
Wind tunnels have become increasingly important for skydiving as they offer an excellent training environment for skydivers and provide a glimpse of the excitement of skydiving to anyone.
California now has more wind tunnels than any other U.S. state save for Texas (which has nine).
