:lol: :spank: i didn’t want to get into the technicalities of a bird managing to ignite “hot air” and risk reviving any of the traumatic grief you may have for losing family members.

so…you do realize a hot air balloon is a balloon that’s full of hot air right? not Hydrogen? I atleast want to clear that up.

That and its filled with warmed air, so if it hit a cold air pocket, it would fly better, not worse.

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

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 :slight_smile:
