Hot Air Balloon Ride Mid Air Collision and Crash Landing

[gargamel55]

What happens if you have to take a shit while ur up in one of those balloons?

We tend to call that 'mid air collision' a 'Kiss' -- perfectly normal under such controlled circumstances. Just fyi -- your 7200' was MSL, not AGL - a huge difference. You were actually flying about 1300-1400 feet above ground level. And even though a gauge may have reported 600 fpm before the landing, obviously your rate of descent had slowed tremendously before ground contact. It actually looks like you had a lovely flight with terrific views -- hope you enjoyed it as the laughter indicates!

Awful lot of laughing for a "crash" landing. Totally normal landing at that speed. As for the "mid-air collision" it's perfectly fine for balloons to touch, as you can see it obviously did no harm to either.
