The present invention is a vertical wind tunnel amusement device. The device comprises a flight chamber wherein a user may experience a freefall through the atmosphere from the safety of an enclosed flight chamber. Airflow sufficient to fully support a user within the flight chamber is induced by a plurality of fans connected above the flight chamber through a duct. A staging area having openings to the flight chamber is adjacent to the flight chamber. A user may enter or retreat from the flight chamber at will through the staging area openings without significantly adjusting the airflow velocity in the flight chamber. A control room is adjacent to the fight chamber whereby an operator may observe a user or users within the flight chamber and thereby safely control the operation of the fans. A projection room is also adjacent to the flight chamber whereby a video of a skydiving experience may be displayed to a user within the flight chamber. A telemetry backpack may be worn by a user or users in the flight chamber so the user can interact with or choose the scenes being projected on the flight chamber.In alternate embodiment, return air ducts are used to return air from each fan to the wind tunnel inlet. Dampers are included on each return air duct thereby allowing the temperature of the airflow in the wind tunnel to be adjusted for user comfort.

The special feature consists in the provision of at least one second roller (16) which may be moved and driven by the driving mechanism (34, 26, 36, 44) essentially transversely to its axis of rotation, the cable (12) or chain running from the first roller (14) to the second roller (16), there becoming deflected and being fastened by the second end (12b) to a point of attachment (18) on the frame (6).
117 Free fall system US253130 1994-06-02 US5597358A 1997-01-28 Mihail I. Marcu
A vertical free fall system is proposed where a capsule with human beings is raised pneumatically in a tube, then is released to fall down in a free fall mode inside of the tube. The capsule has some means of controlling the air flow passing across the capsule so that the rate of deceleration is controlled. In this way the capsule is able to free fall then to be decelerated to the bottom of the tube. Also the tube has means to control the flowing air by this being possible to control the deceleration of the said capsule.
118 Recreational device for producing the thrill of a series of consecutive free falls US805432 1985-12-05 US4743007A 1988-05-10 Alfonso de la Concha-Caceres
A recreational device for producing the thrill of a series of consecutive free falls, which includes a housing, a shock absorbing cushion throughout the bottom of the housing, an inwardly extending peripheral deck near the top of the housing arranged to provide a launching platform for allowing persons to jump into the housing, and a plurality of horizontal planar non-woven nets of elastic bands arranged at different levels within the housing with each net spanning the whole horizontal cross-section of the housing. The elastic bands are randomly arranged within each individual net so as to leave spans between the bands which are insufficiently small to prevent a person from passing through the nets without bouncing on each consecutive net, the elastic bands having an elasticity sufficient to permit persons to manually space the bands to jump from a higher net of bands to a lower net of bands. Each of the horizontal planar non-woven nets are constituted by from 2 to 4 levels of elastic bands, the levels being closely spaced from each other within an individual net to permit the reinforced bouncing of heavy persons whose weight or height of fall may deflect the upper ones of the band levels in an individual net beyond a permissible tolerance.
119 Recreational device for producing the thrill of a free fall US484997 1983-04-14 US4535983A 1985-08-20 Alfonso De-La-Concha-Caceres
A recreational device for producing the thrill of a free fall on the users, which includes a housing, a shock absorbing cushion throughout the bottom of the housing, and an inwardly extending peripheral deck on the top of the housing. The deck has an area sufficient to accommodate a predetermined number of persons and arranged to provide a launching platform for allowing persons to jump into the housing. A plurality of elastic bands have their two opposite ends fixedly attached to the interior surfaces of the side walls of the housing, each individual elastic band extending in a horizontal position throughout its length across the housing. The elastic bands are randomly arranged at different levels within the housing to form an elastic network leaving spans between the bands which are sufficiently small to prevent a person jumping from the deck into the housing from passing through the network all the way down through the housing without bouncing on one or more of the elastic bands, but with the elastic bands having an elasticity sufficient to permit persons to rebound on them as they fall from a higher level of bands to a lower level of bands. The elastic bands are arranged throughout at least a substantial part of the height of the housing. A part of the elastic bands may be arranged in the form of horizontal nets fixed on a frame which may be moved upwardly and downwardly to increase or decrease the vertical distance between successive elastic bands. The frames may also be circular and the housing correspondingly cylindrical to permit rotation of said frames.
