- Hello, hello, welcome.
- Hello, hi, I'm Ms. Penny
and these are the KidVision kids.
And we're here today to find out
about indoor skydiving.
- Awesome, my name is Jim, I'm the general manager
here at iFLY.
I'm here to walk you through the whole process.
We're gonna go ahead and get checked in.
After that we're gonna go to a class,
and then from there, gear up and we're gonna fly.
Are you guys excited?
- Yes!
- [Jim] Awesome, let's get started!
(energetic music)
- [Ms. Penny] The wind tunnel forces air
to move vertically up from the bottom.
Gravity is the Earth's force
that pulls objects down so they stay on the ground.
Air drag happens when a person or object
is held between the wind force moving up
and the gravity force pulling down.
That is what enables flight.
Experienced sky divers are able to fly
in multiple directions.
Horizontal, which means side to side,
vertical, which means up and down,
and diagonal, which is across.
(energetic music)
Solids have a definite shape and volume.
Balls are round solids.
They create less air drag than people do.
(energetic music)
Liquids don't have a shape
and instead take on the shape of whatever container
they're placed in, like a bottle.
When liquid is released into the wind tunnel,
it spreads and clings to the nearest air molecule.

- Hey guys, welcome to iFLY.
My name is Devin and I'm gonna be your instructor today.
I'm gonna tell you about all the hand signals
that we're gonna need to communicate
in the tunnel, 'cause it's gonna be loud in there,
and we're not gonna be able to communicate
with each other by talking.
Can I have a volunteer to come up
so I can show you how to fly.
Okay, so what I need for you to do
is point your toes through the back wall,
and just bend your knees a little bit.
We're gonna use this hand signal
to tell you to bend your knees.
A lot of people get into the tunnel the first time
and they put their feet up on their butt,
but we need all this surface area in order
to be able to fly.
So I want you to keep your legs out,
and this is the hand signal I'm gonna use
to tell you to do that.
We're gonna be taking pictures and video
so I want to make sure I see your face
and not the top of your head.
Keep your chin up.
The last hand signal that we're gonna use to communicate
is this.
It means relax.
We want to be a good, solid flyer
so we're gonna keep our hips forward,
our legs out, and our chin up.
Alright guys, let's go get some gear
and get in the tunnel.
- [Ms. Penny] Okay.
(twinkling, then popping)
- Alright guys, my name's Kyle.
I'm gonna be your instructor in there today.
Now that we've been through the classroom,
we're gonna get everything we need to fly.
We're gonna get jumpsuits,
we're gonna get helmets and goggles.
Once we get all geared up, we're gonna get in the wind
and we're gonna fly, okay?
- Are you ready?
- Yeah. - We're excited.
- Awesome.
