There are places that offer wind tunnel skydiving lessons all over the United States of America. Some locations to check out would be SkyVenture in New Hampshire, Skydive Perris in San Diego, or iFly Hollywood.
That varies from wind tunnel to wind tunnel. Personally, I have seen kids as young as 3 in tunnels.
The most important weather conditions to be aware of for skydiving are the wind conditions. The most ideal wind conditions for skydiving are low to moderate winds. Also, the sky needs to be clear or low in clouds so the skydivers are able to clearly see the ground. Thunderstorms can be very dangerous for skydivers as well because they are accompanied by unpredictable winds.

A wind tunnel.
Without wind tunnel testing and other testing, testing in flight would be even more dangerous to the test pilot, and anyone killed should the aeroplane crash.
Skydiving can be dangerous if the equipment fails or the pilot makes an error. For example, hard landings, failure of the main and reserve parachute (extremely rare), canopy collision, freefall collision. With training it is possible to eradicate the likely hood of having a problem and thus the question of 'why is skydiving dangerous' becomes 'is skydiving dangerous to everyone who takes part'.
Not sure about Houston specifically. Try searching for 'vertical wind tunnel'. That should bring up some more accurate search results to help you find what you're after. Have fun.
"Baals wind tunnel" likely refers to a wind tunnel named after renowned aerodynamicist Ludwig Prandtl. Prandtl's work on wind tunnels in the early 20th century was foundational in understanding aerodynamics, and his name is often associated with wind tunnel research and design.
Unitary Plan Wind Tunnel was created in 1955.

quiet dangerous but children could get injured.
