Ever wondered what a true free fall drop feels like? This guide explains the physics and the pure adrenaline rush of this ultimate thrill. We break down the science of free fall, where gravity is the only force at play, and introduce the modern devices that let you experience it safely. Discover the FlightLine, an extreme attraction that provides an authentic free fall drop from a towering platform. Learn about the heart-pounding commitment of taking that leap, the incredible speed you’ll reach, and the surprisingly gentle catch that sets this experience apart. It’s the ultimate adventure for any thrill-seeker.
Understanding Free Fall
Let’s start with the basics. In physics, free fall is defined as the motion of an object where gravity is the only force acting upon it. This means that an object, such as a skydiver, that is falling towards the earth and is only being affected by gravity is said to be in free fall. It’s important to note that even though a skydiver is falling towards the earth, they are not in true free fall because they are also affected by air resistance, which opposes their downward movement.
Free Fall Devices
So, what exactly is a free fall device? A free fall device is a piece of equipment that allows individuals to experience the sensation of free fall in a controlled environment. We’ve developed a family of free fall devices that offer a range of experiences with jumps ranging from 6 meter to a sweat-inducing height of 24,5 meter. Our devices provide the most authentic free fall experience you’ll find on planet Earth.

Free Fall Speed
When an object is in free fall, without the effects of air resistance, it will increase in speed by about 9,7 Mtr per second every second. However, because objects falling within Earth’s atmosphere experience resistance from the air, they will eventually reach a terminal velocity. This is the fastest speed that an object will reach as it falls through the air. For a skydiver falling in the standard belly-to-Earth position, the estimated terminal velocity is around 193 kph, and it takes about 12 seconds to reach this speed. Fun fact: Peregrine falcons, known for their high-speed dives when attacking their prey, can reach speeds of over 321 kph!
The Thrill of Free Fall
Now that you have a basic understanding of what free fall is and how it works, let’s talk about the thrill of it all. With our free fall devices, you don’t need any training to experience the sensation of free fall. You can set up our devices almost anywhere, whether it’s indoors or outdoors, and you’ll still get an adrenaline-pumping thrill. We offer a range of device options for everyone, from kids to those who want to push their limits to the max.
Free fall is the sensation of falling towards the earth with only gravity acting upon you. It’s an exhilarating experience that can be enjoyed by anyone, regardless of age or experience level. We’ve developed free fall devices that allow you to experience the thrill of free fall in a safe and controlled environment. So, what are you waiting for? Let’s get your heart racing with a free fall experience!
Experience the Ultimate Thrill with the FlightLine Free Fall Device
For thrill-seekers and adventure enthusiasts, there’s nothing quite like the rush of a good free fall. And for operators looking to bring in the crowds, the FlightLine Free Fall Device is the perfect addition to any amusement park or adventure attraction.
Height
At a towering 80 feet (24.5m) above the ground, the FlightLine platform is not for the faint of heart. With nothing but air between you and the ground, taking that first step off the platform is a truly heart-pumping experience. The height of the FlightLine platform is one of the many reasons why this device is considered one of the most extreme free falls around.
Speed
Fully powered by gravity, the FlightLine Free Fall Device provides an unforgettable rush. As soon as you step off the platform, gravity takes over, and you’ll feel the wind rushing around you as you fall. But even with the fast free fall, the FlightLine’s catch is surprisingly gentle, making for a smooth landing.
The Unexpected
One of the most exciting aspects of the FlightLine Free Fall Device is the element of the unexpected. With two mounting options available – standard and jump over – participants never quite know what to expect. The jump over configuration is particularly thrilling, as jumpers can’t see the device until they’ve already taken the leap.
Commitment
Perhaps the most intimidating aspect of the FlightLine Free Fall Device is that participants must commit to taking that first step off the platform. There are no operators to start the ride – it’s up to you to take that leap of faith. But for those who are brave enough to take the plunge, the FlightLine offers an experience that they’ll never forget.
Conclusion
For those seeking the ultimate thrill, the FlightLine Free Fall Device is a must-try. With its towering heights, breathtaking speed, and unexpected twists, this extreme free fall is sure to get your heart racing. So, are you brave enough to take the leap?
