The experience promises thrills! “Upon arrival at Twinwoods Adventure, you’ll be greeted by the Bodyflight instructors who’ll run through a full safety briefing. You’ll take four 1 minute 15 seconds practice flights to familiarise yourself before you don the full-face VR skydiving helmet for the main event. With interactive visuals and a few virtual friends to take the jump with you, this will be a minute of freefall that you’ll remember forever. To ensure you get the most out of your ‘jump’, you’ll undertake a full briefing followed by four practice flights before gearing up in your jumpsuit, parachute, harness and full-face VR skydiving helmet.
