A skydiving simulator system 10 for providing a simulated skydiving experience is disclosed. The skydiving simulator system comprises a flight zone FZ, a loading zone LZ which is laterally offset from the flight zone. There is also a lateral movement mechanism, for example a robotic arm 16, having a moveable member 18; and a user suspension means 14, for example a harness, for supporting a user relative to the lateral movement mechanism. The sky diving simulator system has a loading condition in which a user is engaged with the user suspension means in the loading zone, and a flight condition in which the user is suspended by the user suspension means in the flight zone. The moveable member is moveable between the loading zone and the flight zone whilst the user is engaged with the user suspension means. Also provided is a wingsuit apparatus for use with a skydiving simulator, the wingsuit apparatus comprising arm portions, leg portions and wing members. The apparatus further comprises a harness attachment 22 for releasable attachment to an associated simulator system.
