Family Natters

If you want to experience the adrenaline rush of a terminal velocity free-fall with very little risk, why not try Airkix’s specially built wind tunnel at Xscape Milton Keynes.  There are various packages you can buy in increments of 1 minute and there are options to also have photos or a DVD made of your flight, but roughly it works out at £15 per minute.    Everyone starts by watching a short educational video then learning the hand signals that the instructor uses to coach you.  To start the important points are to:

• relax
• keep movements slow and to a minimum
• keep your chin up
• keep your back arched and your legs bent
• keep your palms down and your arms outstreched in line with your head

For me, it was one of the most thrilling sports I’ve ever tried.  A little difficult perhaps to get your breath at first, but very quickly you start to relax and understand how to move.  Children as young as 4 can fly, and friends and family can view for free.
