00:00We are here at Climb Abu Dhabi, which is home to the largest ever indoor skydiving sort

00:19of hall.

00:20And I'm going to be trying it out myself.

00:21I'm really nervous, so I hope this goes well.

00:25Stay tuned to see how I survive.

00:55So if I see your hand first, we'll probably get it, yeah?

01:02Because we're going to like hold hands.

01:05Okay, this is the way.

01:08Guess where it's going to fly right now.

01:10This is called the Flight Chamber.

01:12It's the world's biggest indoor skydiving tunnel, and it's got a Guinness record to

01:16prove it.

01:17The Flight Chamber is 32 feet wide and has a record-breaking height of 104 feet, and

01:22it's located on Yas Island at Climb Abu Dhabi.

01:25The experience is open to people of any age, from 3 years old onwards.

01:29Whether you're a beginner or an expert flyer, their trained instructors will guide you throughout

01:34your flight, depending on your level and comfort.

01:37I was personally really scared.

01:39I didn't want to try any crazy tricks, so my flight was pretty tame.

01:43But John, as an expert flyer, was bouncing around the Flight Chamber.

01:47John did a detailed briefing and explained just how I was supposed to hold my body position,

01:52thumbs at eye level, and legs slightly bent and slightly open.

01:55The Climb Flight Chamber is equipped with 16 fans at the bottom, blowing winds at 120

02:01miles per hour, so it gets a little chilly in there, but flying is an amazing experience.

02:07Tickets to the Flight Chamber start at 235 dirhams per person.

02:11Feels amazing.

02:13I was probably scared for no reason, because it is exhilarating, it's crazy.

02:17The wind is so fast, it's so cold, and if you love adventure, then this one is for you.

02:26This is Yosorizaki for Golf News.
