An Ohio woman tried indoor skydiving at iFLY but lied about her weight on the sign-in form. She later warned others not to make the same mistake she did. TikTok userBreAsia (@biqqbre) shared a video from her 2019 iFLY experience that got over 2.6 million views. In the clip, she wears a black skydiving suit and hovers low in the cage with an instructor next to her.
The instructor tries to hold her over the fan that’s supposed to lift her up. However, she struggles to stay in position and tries to grip the side walls. Text on the TikTok video screen reads, “That time I almost took the instructor out bc I lied ab my weight on the iFLY form.”
According to Bro Bible, people who go to iFLY should tell the truth about their weight so instructors can keep them safe during the experience. Some locations even ask customers to step on a scale, according to people who have visited before.
Being honest about your weight at iFLY is a safety requirement
iFLY’s website says the indoor skydiving chain has strict weight limits. Instructors may not be able to work with customers who weigh more than 260 pounds. Some locations might make exceptions, but the company has a hard limit of 300 pounds. Like a woman who regretted her car purchase, BreAsia quickly realized her mistake had consequences.
High flights, which let customers move higher in the tube, are only available for people who weigh less than 260 pounds.
Many viewers in the comments questioned why BreAsia lied about her weight on the forms. One person pointed out: “Maybe they ask about the weight so they can adjust the amount of air proportionately?” Some noted that lying about important details can backfire, similar to how one man’s racist comment came back to haunt him.
BreAsia explained that her location didn’t make her stand on a scale. They only told her she could fly if she “fit the suit.” She admitted she said she weighed 25 pounds less than her actual weight. She added, “I still enjoyed myself even if it was a short amount of time.” Other users shared that their iFLY locations used scales to check their weight before letting them fly.
