Just when you think you’ve heard and seen it all, the recreation industry comes up with something which in the past was only relegated to those that had the guts to jump out of moving planes – indoor skydiving. In particular, the industry leader Ifly seems to have cornered the market in just about every state and major city, providing both experienced skydivers and first-time flyers with the opportunity of indulging in excitement, adventure and the sensation of freefall in a safe, controlled environment. These facilities feature modern vertical wind tunnels as well as instructors who are certified to oversee the activity, as well as briefing the client on safety protocols. The wind in these tunnels travels upwards of 120 mph and this lifts patrons into the air while protected in the confines of a glass tube.

However, negligence which can take on many forms in the context of netting malfunction, electrical issues or even instructor error in body position can all lead to severe, life-altering injuries when one loses stability and impacts either the wall or tunnel floor with a considerable amount of force. In such instances, broken bones are almost a given, and a more serious and permanent condition known as post-traumatic vestibular disorder may develop, making daily tasks such as working at a computer or driving an impossibility. Even when someone signs a waiver before accessing these amenities, injuries due to gross negligence are compensable on account of catastrophic injury law, and we’re here to help get you the justice and compensation you deserve if you were injured as a result of indoor sky diving – read on to find out just exactly how we do this.

To date, we have recovered over $260 million and counting for our clients, and our success is due to a number of factors such as personally handling all claims that come into the firm and not letting paralegals or inexperienced legal assistants work on them as seen in most law firms, our commitment in making sure that we put a capable and aggressive team for each claim made of physicians, investigators as well as industry-respected experts, as well as not being afraid to litigate claims in a court of law if we believe the client deserves maximum compensation based on your injuries or the actions of the defendant.

We also work with a team of well-renowned experts in the medical, investigative, forensic, and accounting fields in order to come up with a case replete with objective evidence, medical rationale for your injuries tying them to the accident and the defendant’s negligence as well as quantifying your injuries by way of compensable damages to ensure you get the compensation you truly deserve.

Last but not least is the fact that we take on all cases on a contingency-fee basis, which simply means that there are ZERO UPFRONT FEES for the duration of the processing of your claim, as we only levy our fees at the end of the suit, and only if we’ve recovered compensation on your behalf.

Causation a Central Role in Indoor Skydiving Lawsuits

All injury lawsuits hinge on proving causation which breached a business’s duty of care towards you. This can be done via the subpoenaing of iFLY’s internal incident database where other similar incidents may be found to have occurred yet nothing was done to remedy the situation. In addition, foreseeability of bodily harm must be proven and this can be carried out via a neurologist who can testify on your behalf that a concussive impact within a confined and disorienting space such as a wind tunnel can indubitably lead to permanent vestibular disorders. Last but not least, breach of duty of care can be proven by way of either eyewitness testimony or even better, surveillance footage where it is shown that the instructor wasn’t paying attention to you, or gave you incorrect hand signals leading to your destabilizing impact.

I Signed a Waiver Before Participating in Indoor Skydiving – Can I Still Sue?

It is important to also note that liability waivers do not protect indoor skydiving companies such as Ifly due to factors such as the presence of gross negligence, public policy concerns where waivers can be struck due to the disparity that exists between a consumer and a large entity like Ifly, and the ambiguous language used in these documents where there is no risk of permanent disability inferred.
