They’re only dangerous if you go up with clothes on. Stray hydrogen from the balloon will saturate your clothing and may combust. So go up nude and take pics. So I take it jenheartsyou is a chick and that’s why the whole board went "OMG A GIRL :jawdrop: PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE CAN I SEE YOU NAKED?! ---

my 2 cousins went in one 5 years ago, they both died when they hit an unexpected cold pocket of air and the balloon crashed. A family friend died in one when a bird flew through the flame and went burning up into the balloon, ignited the whole thing and exploded the balloon. I’d rather play russion roulette than go up in one ---

Actually, the cold air pocket makes me think the balloon would rise more in the cold air as warm air rises over cold air. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/would-you-go-in-a/36174.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/would-you-go-in-a/36174.md?page=3)
