JUMPING OUT OF A PLANE FREAKS
YOU OUT HOW ABOUT TRYING LAS
VEGAS INDOOR SKYDIVING.
I DID.
TAKE A LOOK.
♪
Trini: I'M NOT GOING TO LIE,
THIS IS SOMETHING I'VE BEEN
WANTING TO TRY FOREVER.
HERE IS MY CHANCE.
WE'RE ATLAS ATLAS AT LAS VEGAS INDOOR
SKYDIVING.
WE'VE BEEN IN BUSINESS SINCE
1982.
FIRST TIME IN THE UNITED STATES.
WE DO FUN HERE.
WE PRETTY MUCH GUARANTEE IT.
BODY FLIGHT'S BECOME A SORT
LATELY.
ESPECIALLY WITHIN THE LAST FIVE
OR TEN YEARS.
IT'S BODY FLIGHT.
Trini: I AM SO EXCITED TO DO
THIS.
I'VE TALKED ABOUT IT FOREVER.
AND I'M REALLY EXCITED.
DO YOU NEED TO HAVE ANY
EXPERIENCE BECAUSE I HAVE NONE.
YOU'RE TOTALLY FINE.
PROBABLY ABOUT 95% OF OUR
CUSTOMERS HAVE NEVER DONE A
SKYDIVE.
YOU'LL BE JUST FINE.
Trini: WHAT ARE THE AGES?
CAN ANYBODY COME?
IT'S A 40-POUND MINIMUM FOR
KIDS.
WE DO HAVE SOME ADULT MINIMUM.
YOU CAN BE 90 YEARS OLD OR 4.
Trini: TELL ME ABOUT THE
WIND TUNNEL.
IT WAS BUILT IN 1982.
IT'S ABOUT 22 FEET FROM BOTTOM
NET TO TOP NET.
14 DEET IN14 FEET IN DIAMETER.
KIND OF LIKE FLYING IN A
HURRICANE.
Trini: WALK ME THROUGH THE
PROCESS.
WHEN PEOPLE COME IN, THEY WATCH
A VIDEO AND SIGN A WAIVER.
YOU GET A LITTLE INSTRUCTION
ON WHAT TO DO.
THE INSTRUCTOR STAYS WITH YOU
THE WHOLE TIME.
HELMET, GOGGLES, EARPLUGS, AND
HE HELPS YOU.
Trini: I HEAR ONCE YOU'RE IN
THERE, YOU CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING
SO INSTRUCTIONS ARE DONE MY HAND
MOTIONS.
THERE'S NO LANGUAGE BARRIER
EITHER.
IF YOU DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH,
THAT'S FINE.
AND SCREAMING AS MUCH AS YOU -- SCREAM
AS MUCH AS YOU WANT.
NO ONE'S GOING TO HEAR YOU.
Trini: I'M SO EXCITED TO DO
THIS.
YOU'RE OPEN SEVEN DAYS A WEEK
RIGHT HERE IN LAS VEGAS.
LET'S DO IT.
I'M REALLY TO GO.

Trini: IT WAS AMAZING.
OH, MY GOSH.
I WAS SO SCARED IN THE
BEGINNING, BUT THE INSTRUCTOR
WAS PHENOMENAL.
YAY.
HOW DID I DO?
GREAT.
ABSOLUTELY GREAT.
THE BODY POSITION, DIDN'T MOVE
OR KICK TOO MUCH.
THAT'S ALL I ASK FOR.
Trini: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
TWO THUMBS UP.
TAIZO: OH, WOW!
Trini: SORRY, I COULDN'T DO
ANY OF THOSE TRICKS.
TAIZO: THAT'S YOUR FIRST TIME
GOING.
WHAT'S THE SENSATION LIKE?
Trini: IT'S SO FUN.
YOU LEARN THE HAND GESTURES
BEFORE YOU GO IN.
BUT ONCE THE WIND IS BLOWING, MY
BODY GOT REALLY STIFF.
I DIDN'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING.
I FELT TIGHT.
TAIZO: BUT YOUR TECHNIQUE WAS
GOOD.
YOU WERE STABLE.
THAT'S PRETTY COOL.
Trini: I DIDN'T GET HURT.
