No, closest is Orlando, FL and Fayetteville, NC.
no
There are no indoor skydiving locations in New Jersey.
That varies from wind tunnel to wind tunnel. Personally, I have seen kids as young as 3 in tunnels.
Wind tunnels charge you by the minuite, but if you buy larger blocks of time, you can get a discount. Also, some wind tunnels charge less for off-peak times. See the related link for more information.
Not that I can find!
The number depends on the type of tunnel. There were a reported 12,817 injuries from indoor skydiving tunnels worldwide last year with all of them resulting from tunnels with fans at the bottom, including those made by BodyFlying Airodium AG in Switzerland, Aerodium Technologies in Latvia, Portable Wind Tunnels, LLC and Vertical Wind Tunnel Corporation in United States, Free Flight in Australia (which has since closed its tunnel). Open top wind tunnels are the most dangerous and vortex producing tunnels like those found in Shanghai, China, Las Vegas, Nevada, and in some amusement parks are increasingly dangerous. Many deaths have occurred from people falling over the side or down the sides or dropping quickly when the turbine, which is located at the bottom or sides, shuts off. Here is a video of what ended up being a very bad accident. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uxh2gy_sFFU The only safe vertical wind tunnels are those operated by SkyVentures, PacAirVentures, and under the brand name iFLY. There have been no reported incidents of insurance claims in their more than 10 year history. This is largely due to the design and safety measures built into their tunnels. It may also be due to their extensive training of instructors, two of which are present for every flight.
Not sure about Houston specifically. Try searching for 'vertical wind tunnel'. That should bring up some more accurate search results to help you find what you're after. Have fun.
It work's by putting wind in-to it.
Because they can find a lot of information about it's flight characteristics in wind tunnels.
wind tunnels
NASA has a wind tunnel available in Texas, others do exist in the USA but have undisclosed locations as heavy wind tunnels are often used to test aircraft.
Wind tunnels are different sizes.
