Strong wind

Have you ever wanted to jump out of an airplane with a parachute? Most people are too scared to try.

If you want to know what it is like without having to jump out of an airplane, you should try this ride. Underneath these two people is a really big fan. The fan is so strong that it can blow wind at 193km per hour. That is powerful enough to lift these two people off the ground.

These people feel like they are falling very fast, but they are not moving at all. They are hovering in the same place. They have to wear these special red and yellow suits so that the strong wind doesn't damage their clothes. They wear goggles so that it doesn't hurt their eyes.

Do you know? STORM WINDS The largest, most powerful typhoon ever recorded was Super Typhoon Tip in 1977. Winds during that storm reached over 305km per hour. Tornado winds have been measured blowing as fast as 480km per hour.
