Brussels Indoor Skydiving Experience & Flight Demo

Summary

First Time Wind Tunnel Flights in Belgium’s Highest Chamber

This is your chance to try indoor skydiving in Brussels’ tallest wind tunnel—two real flights with expert guidance, all gear provided, plus a pro demonstration at the end. Feel the rush of free fall without jumping from a plane and leave with your own flight diploma as proof you did it.

What’s the experience like?

“Lean forward, arms out!” That’s what our instructor called out as I shuffled toward the roaring wind tunnel, heart racing. The suit felt snug but not too tight, and the helmet muffled the outside noise—except for that deep whoosh of air spinning inside the 17-meter-high chamber. I caught a glimpse of another flyer grinning through their goggles just before it was my turn to step in.

The briefing was quick but clear, with our guide showing us simple hand signals and how to hold our bodies mid-air. Honestly, I was surprised by how much lift you get right away—one second you’re standing on the mesh floor, next you’re floating like you’ve jumped from a plane at 4,000 meters. The air pushed against my cheeks and made my arms tingle. Between flights, we swapped nervous laughs with a family from Antwerp who were just as new to this as I was.

After both flights, we got to watch our instructor show off some wild moves—spins, flips, even hovering upside down for a moment. It was hard not to clap along with everyone else watching from behind the glass. Before leaving, they handed me a diploma with my name on it—a small thing, but it made me feel like I’d really done something special here in Belgium’s tallest wind tunnel.
