     Birdman or windflying suits

     Skydiving in Madrid (Spain) with Freefall University
 
Have you ever thought about flying around a cloud ? Getting more than 3 minutes falling at 40mph ? Bird Man or wingsuit flying allows this and more . Our Bird Man school in Ocaña Madrid offers daily one on one or group courses for budding flyers.

Bird man flight is in your reach in our dropzone in Madrid, Spain.

Bird man suits are made from the same materials that modern parachutes are. This zero porosity ( does not allow air through ) materials is cut in such a way that it inflates to form a wing. You are the skeleton of the wing pushing out your arms and legs to ensure a rigid wing which produces a lot of lift and forward speed.

The feeling of flying a bird man suit is much different than freefall. Your high forward speed combined with your low vertical speed gives you a feeling of true freedom of flight. Imagine more wind hitting your face than your belly.
