The Acceleration Rate During Skydiving Is Not High Enough to Create a Stomach Drop Sensation

Indoor skydivers use different body positions to move and stay afloat. For example, with straight arms and legs, they create a large surface area to get lifted up by the wind. On the contrary, by tucking in their legs and arms, they decrease this area, which lets them descend through the slope.

Calculating the numbers below is kind of simple, I take the exit altitude and subtract our opening parachute height. This equals the total feet we free-fall. Our first thousand feet is about 10 seconds long. Now we have our remaining free fall at terminal velocity of 176 feet per second. I add 10 seconds to our remaining free fall at terminal velocity time and we get our approximate free fall time. Yes, hard to explain but you will see the numbers below where we open a parachute at 4000-5000 feet.

While rare, equipment malfunctions can happen even in highly controlled environments like indoor skydiving facilities. Mechanical failures such as power outages or issues with airflow systems could potentially lead to dangerous situations. Adequate maintenance and regular inspections are crucial to minimizing the risk of accidents caused by equipment malfunction.
