it was a hoot. Cost about $20 for 5 minutes, which was a fair bit of
cash back then but it would cost you a hell of alot more to get 5
minutes of real freefall, ( about 5 jumps from 14,000 ft to be sure).
in terms of learning how to manouvre your body in free fall it is
essentially the same thing without the scenery ( and the risk)
