Watch ten brave seniors ranging in age from mid-'60s to early '90s become airborne at iFly in Rosemont, IL. iFly is a national recreational chain where indoor skydiving "free fall" is possible inside a vertical wind tunnel. Of course, this is safer than jumping out of a plane, but there are a few health-related limitations.
The technology is fascinating. Four powerful fans above the wind tunnel draw air through intakes located beneath the tunnel. A technician with a clear view of the participants controls the velocity. At 120-or-so mph., humans become airborne.
The background music in this video, You Can Fly (from Peter Pan), is arranged and sung by TriforceFilms, an acapella group.
