Lets hope and pray that those pilots will turn up alright, and unhurt.

Your footage and narration have helped me to better connect with the sport that you all love so dearly. I am grieving the loss of my friend, Carol, and my heart goes out to all of you who know and love Richard and Carol. I toast your sense of adventure and your passion.

Isn't there a shortage of helium currently on planet Earth? Sorry to hear about pilot losses, but I can't help thinking, this sport is dangerous!
