Before trying indoor skydiving at iFly, Oklahoma City's newest entertainment destination, I made sure to ask an instructor for his best advice.

“Remain calm,” said instructor Stig Callahan, who had sort of a Sean Connery thing going on in his red skydiving jumpsuit.

Repeating the phrase aloud, I wrote the words in my notebook as legibly as I could, but my hands were shaking and a little sweaty.

Callahan and all of the instructors at iFly are rather glamorous. They wear red jumpsuits with their names embroidered on the chest and look a bit like the Red Power Ranger wearing their protective helmets and goggles. One was a former paratrooper in the Serbian army. He recited the impressive number of jumps he had under his belt with a fabulous accent, but my eyes glazed over and I forgot to write it down.
