[quote=“RedDawg,post:30,topic:36174"”] 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 [/quote] :biglaugh: ---

[quote=“RedDawg,post:30,topic:36174"”] 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. [/quote] lol at people thinking cold air will crash a hot air balloon hot air ballons work because the air inside them is hotter, and therefore LIGHTER then the cooler air around them, a cold pocket would cause the balloon to rise if anything, because hot light air rises over cold dense air now if they hit a pocket of incredibly hot air, then maybe, but it would have to be realy fricken hot, well past 250 °F, the surounding air would probably have to be well in excess of 300 degrees to have anything close to a “fast” fall from the sky at the temperature, the heat will kill you well before the balloon manages to crash luckily we dont have many 350° days around here 🙂 [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/would-you-go-in-a/36174.md?page=2)
