What Does Indoor Skydiving Feel Like?

You feel loud air and a belly-to-earth float. The instructor’s hands set your arch and keep you stable. There is no door exit, no freefall countdown, and no parachute opening. The chamber walls are close. The wind is continuous.

If a sentence still works after swapping “what tandem freefall feels like,” rewrite it — you never leave the building.
