Prepare yourself for a breathtaking journey of extraordinary heights! Do you have the courage to test out a never-before-tested mock up of Leonardo Da Vinci’s original parachute design from 1485? If you answered “yes” then chances are you are a risk-taker! Fly into a world of risk and innovation as you join base jumpers, skydivers and all-around risk takers in the new IMAX film Adrenaline Rush: The Science of Risk, now showing in the Riverside IMAX Theater at the Virginia Air & Space Center. Adrenaline Rush takes you on a breathtaking journey that explores the psychological and physiological forces behind risk-taking and features some unbelievable views and spectacular footage. Soar along-side skydiving teams on a secure yet death-defying ride over the Florida Keys and California’s Mohave Desert. Join daring base-jumpers in the Fjords of Norway as they leap from legendary cliffs more than 4500-feet high and plummet towards the ground below. If that’s not enough to get your adrenaline pumping, how about placing your life in the hands of a 15th century inventor? Two risk-takers, Adrian Nicholas and Katarina Ollikainen undertake a unique scientific experiment when they attempt to build and fly a parachute designed by Leonardo Da Vinci more than 500 years ago. Da Vinci’s parachute design is the first ever recorded in the world, but has never been put to the test, until now. Witness this daredevil team’s attempt at human flight with a 15th century twist on the giant IMAX screen, if you dare!
