    A few years back, a couple of young ladies showed up to do tandems, and for religious reasons they always wore these calf-length skirts. Consulting with them and their fathers, we couldn't convince them to put on pants or jumpsuits, and their dads certainly weren't going to have us putting the harnesses on under the skirts. So we checked it out and found a way to make it work. We bunched the skirts around their thighs and pulled the excess down, and it worked fine without being immodest. It ended up looking kind of like those 'skorts' or 'gauchos', or whatever they call them.

    That sounds probably like the one good way to do that, but I'm just wondering how I would do it while staying more with that sort of skirt feel to it lol

    Ah cool!

    I'm not sure why you think wing walking is safer or less frightening than skydiving. Wind tunnel operators are particular about what participants wear in the tunnel. Both the activities you want to do in a skirt will require you to learn how to do them in the standard manner first. Once you do that you will know how to explore the possibilities. 

    Yeah, that does make sense. I was just wondering if there was ever a way I could do that or something similar to it. Thanks!

    There are two concerns: one is the dress or skirt flapping over your emergency handles or your parachute (both would the start of a bad day). The other is that your harness (that holds you into the parachute) is cinched around the tops of your legs, thereby kind of doing away with the skirt feel. 
    The only (relatively) safe way I could think of would be to have a tight skirt on OVER your properly-fitted harness, and secured around your knees to keep it from flying up. 
    That’d be a specialty jump for an experienced jumper, in my eyes. 
    And it’s possible to find videos of lots of things that aren’t safe.

    Huh, that does make sense for skydiving, definitely. Do you think a safer option would be in a wind tunnel or even trying wingwalking? Thanks!

    Hey, so here's the thing. I really love wearing dresses and skirts. I just kind of do. But I also want to try either skydiving (most likely in a tunnel, I'm not sure I have the courage to actually skydive lol) or wingwalking, mainly wingwalking because that's slightly less terrifying Granted, Im probably too young to do any of this now, but does anyone know whether or not I will be able to wingwalk or skydive while wearing a dress or a skirt? I've just been thinking about that for a while and I was wondering if I could really do that.

     

    Ok, so a little after typing this, I've seen videos of people skydiving AND wingwalking in full wedding dresses, and to kind of clarify, though it would be fun, it's not quite what I want. I mean just any kind of dress or skirt really

    I studied aerospace engineering and my university had a rather large horizontal wind tunnel, with maximum speed of around 300 km/h. I've been inside it while it was operating (at a lower speed) to hold a smoke machine nozzle to help visualize the airflow. Walking is not fun even at slower speeds, especially because the surface is slick and there are no things to hold on to. I would not really recommend replicating the video you linked, as any sort of malfunction in the system holding you down would send you flying across the tunnel at high speed, all the way to the safety net / direction fins (which are both made of metal and collision would leave you with broken bones or worse). Just go to the skydiving wind tunnel, you will have much more fun. 

    Oh wow really?

    I mean its not like I could really get in one anyways because I dont have one near me and I dont know how I could get in one even if I did lol

    I'm 14 and I've never really skydived before, but I've done the indoor wind tunnel skydiving and that was kinda fun! I'm not really sure I'll ever go real skydiving but I'll probably do wind tunnel skydiving once or twice more sometime in my life lol

    first off, just letting you know, I'm fairly young (14) so I haven't been actual skydiving before, but I have done the wind tunnel skydiving before and that was pretty fun. I'm kinda scared to actually skydive because of the heights and some other stuff so I might stick to wind tunnels tbh

     

    Either way, has anyone been in or does anyone, like me, want to go in one of those horizontal wind tunnels that they use to test planes and cars and do something like this? I just think trying to stand with that kinda wind going against me would be pretty fun lol

     

    also (I hope I'm not the only one who wants to do this) I kinda wanna try doing both kinds of wind tunnels in a really flowy skirt/dress that moves around a lot in the wind or a big poofy ball gown cuz I think both of those would be really fun experiments to try in wind tunnels lol
