Review about unusual leisure activities - Exam preparation CAE (C1) FLYING INTO A TUBE Have you ever jumped from a plane? Now you don’t need to do it to experience the incredible sensation of being flying and fighting against the wind. A new activity is offered in Madrid and it is available for all ages. Having watched parachuting in the TV, a huge amount of spectators wonder how it would be to try it, however, it is a rather expensive craving, so it is not affordable for everyone. Nevertheless, the air tube located in a room inside a big venue in the outskirts of Madrid seems an amazingly similar experience for smaller budgets, even though it is not cheap. Firstly, a reservation of the activity is needed and the instructions are sent afterwards. I visited the place with a friend and only when we received the instructions did we realise that the activity would not be extremely breathtaking. A special suit was given to the costumers and some exercises had to be done to practice the movements needed to control the body inside the tube. After this brief explanation, the group was redirected to the tube and then the activity started. Personally, it was the moment of being able to control my movements that I enjoyed most, but it just lasted a few seconds, since the experience consists in 2 minutes divided by a short break. To sum up, considering the experience as a whole, I would not compare it with actual parachuting, but I assure that it is enjoyable for any kind of person, since it takes place in a safer environment.
