About Aerodium
In 1978 Aerodium built the very first vertical wind tunnel for public use near Montreal, Canada. Since then, they have been at the forefront of the wind tunnel industry, inventing, building, and advancing state-of-the-art technology that has completely shaped the sport of bodyflight (also known as indoor skydiving).
Their outdoor wind tunnel has been a revolutionary design, allowing people to get as close to real skydiving as possible. Simply put, flying 10 meters in the sky in the middle of a forest has a much more exciting and realistic feel to it than flying inside a glass tube in a shopping centre.
Due to the realistic nature of these outdoor, no-wall, Aerodium wind tunnels, many famous action stars like Tom Cruise and Jackie Chan have used them to train and film choreographies for movies. And now you can become the action star of your very own skydiving movie!
The Hangloose Adventure Skydiving Experience
The Skydive Aerodium experience includes 2-6 flights, depending on which package you select. Each flight lasts approximately 60 seconds which is longer than a regular freefall from 12,000 feet, making it a much cheaper and safer way to experience freefall.
Safety is the top priority at Skydive Aerodium, and all visitors receive a safety briefing and are equipped with a jumpsuit, helmet, goggles, and earplugs. The wind speed is controlled by a trained operator, and visitors are always monitored and assisted by an instructor in the wind tunnel. Visitors can enjoy the thrill of skydiving without the fear of jumping out of a plane.
