An apparatus 1 for simulating a parachute experience includes a device 10 for controlling the descent A of a participant and a pipe 12 inside which the device can descend. The device, and at least part of the pipe, define a chamber 14 which decreases in volume with descent of the device. The pipe includes an uppermost end 121, a lowermost end 122 and a flow path 123 which permits displacement of fluid 8 from inside the chamber by descent of the device. The flow path is located between the uppermost and lowermost ends such that when the device descends past the flow path the fluid within the chamber acts to decelerate the descent of the device.
