Wheeeeeeeeeeee
If they could do this from a plane i'd be even more impressed, but it's still pretty damn good.
GC says no, but it's probably lying

Fuck me sideways
That's pretty awesome. I want a go, even though I'm sure I'd spang my head on the sides a lot.

Been there a couple of times. Be warned that all you'll be doing for the first few times will be floating about 6 feet from the ground (If you're lucky/a natural) for a few minutes at most. It's expensive for what you get but still worth it and a great introduction to skydiving/aerodynamics/resistance. The tiniest adjustment to your shape affects your position/direction/height massively. The guys you see here have spent (I'm guessing) hundreds of hours in that tunnel mastering that routine. They also turn the fan down for beginners so you can't go that high or as fast. Don't want to put anyone off but it's not as easy as it looks!
Right, I'll fuck off back in my hole now.

Having been to Prague recently...
...I resent the fact I wasn't informed about this beforehand.

Oh absolutely...
...had a great time. This would have been the icing on the beer and goulash soaked cake though.

That is the coolest lava-lamp I've ever seen!
But imagine the size of the table you'd need to balance that on it.

I have a vague memory
of a story on the Today programme in about November 2005 about one of these things being used to teach an injured bird of prey to hover.
I thought that was pretty awesome.

Anyone else going to say "fake"? Not the airfix thing, but the actual stunts...? Find it a little unbelievable somehow. Still enjoyable though.
