Leisure activities that promise thrills, adventure and freedom are often difficult to access for many people with physical disabilities. But there are experiences that show: Limits sometimes only exist in the mind. One example of this is indoor skydiving – and Giuliano gave it a try. <\/p>\n

Curious despite doubts<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Giuliano’s journey to the Windwerk in Winterthur began with a question: “Is that even possible – despite my limitations?”<\/em><\/p>\n

After a tandem parachute jump, his interest in flying in a wind tunnel – without being strapped to someone – grew. But he was still unsure: <\/p>\n

“I wondered how it would work with my legs and whether I would really be able to go.”<\/em><\/p>\n

He got the answer directly on the first flight: It works. And really well! <\/strong><\/p>\n

From nervousness to a feeling of freedom<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Before the start, Giuliano received a detailed briefing and individual support from the experienced instructor team. And then the adventure began: <\/p>\n

“I was surprised how well it worked. I was able to fly myself, keep control – it felt incredibly good.”<\/em><\/p>\n

He was particularly impressed by the so-called cab flight<\/strong>: together with two instructors, he shot up into the wind tunnel and back down again – a moment full of adrenaline and excitement.<\/p>\n

His conclusion: “Tingling nerves throughout the body and a feeling of freedom.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Barriers? Not in the Windwerk <\/strong><\/h2>\n

One of the biggest aha moments for Giuliano was how easy everything went – despite his wheelchair. Getting into the wind tunnel, the flying itself and the on-site support: <\/p>\n

“Not a problem, not an issue at all. I was pleasantly surprised.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The experience showed him (once again) that adventures don’t have to fail because of physical limitations:<\/p>\n

“It means a lot to me because I realize that I can still experience things that are exciting and get the adrenaline pumping. And I can do it almost independently.”<\/em><\/p>\n

An experience that gives courage<\/strong><\/h2>\n

For many people with disabilities, finding suitable leisure activities is a challenge. Indoor skydiving proves this: With the right support, extraordinary adventures are also possible. Giuliano highly recommends it: <\/p>\n

“There’s no reason to doubt. Just give it a try. The team takes great care of you and you feel comfortable. I would recommend it to anyone.”<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Conclusion? <\/strong>Indoor skydiving as an experience shows what inclusion in leisure activities can look like. Giuliano’s story proves it: You don’t have to be able to do everything perfectly to experience something great. Sometimes courage is enough – and a wind tunnel. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
