It’s a human nature to have a desire for something that we can never get such as ‘being able to fly’ is an impossible thing that humans will never be blessed with. At some point of time, everybody wishes to fly like a bird so freely. Some adventurous folks take up adventure sports like gliding, skydiving, balloon rides, etc. However, like any other adventurous sports, these sports too involve high risks even if you are a trained professional.
If you want to play safe and still enjoy flying, then you could perhaps try the “Portable Gliding Simulator,” which is designed by some Australian adventure sports enthusiasts. It’s not surprising as Australia is known for outdoor sports. Quite ironically, these folks say they have done it as they believe the Australians are not into gliding despite the favorite climatic conditions just right for this sport. Portable Gliding Simulator is not at all portable as it weighs 450 kgs. It needs to be towed by a car.
The simulator comes with a full working instrument panel, cockpit and head tracking. Since everybody cannot be a trained pilot, you could perhaps try the simulator and fly on your own. I would just love to fly like a free bird endlessly.
