Default Those indoor skydiving things

So does anyone know if there is anywhere in Alberta where you can do the indoor skydiving? I've tried googling but can only find outside stuff.

This is apparently on my crazy mother's bucket list It is something I would like to see but I may just have to watch the video. I might just have to do something more like the sedate spa day with her instead.

Get her jacked up on gin and then take her to that gopher museum. She'll love it.

Cool! That's a once in a lifetime experience, she doesn't know that it should be on her bucket list

How about bungee jumping as a substitute.

To be honest, with the way her health is I would be surprised if any of these companies would actually let her do any type of extreme sports. Not that she would be heavy enough to make the bungee bungee.

Maybe something like a balloon ride would be an adequate (and safer) substitute???

can you not strap a parachute to her and put her on a trampoline? That way she can say she's done it loads of times.

Not that sounds like a plan. I wonder if a big sheet would work as a parachute?
