Why are skydivers often dissatisfied with Vertical Wind Tunnels ?

A. Many Vertical Wind Tunnel designs currently in use do not provide airspeeds high enough to satisfy skydivers. Also, poor jet uniformity makes some Vertical Wind Tunnels more difficult to fly in, and jet diameters are usually not wide enough for a four-way team. Even 2-way is difficult for experienced skydivers in most designs.
