  • Isn't it amazing what a small wind shear can do ^_^

  • @jjoncm1 you clearly have no idea what you are talking about, do your research before talking rubbish over the internet dude.

  • @Terrorizer321 dont criticize what you don't understand, the guy at the headroped failed and balloon was poorly inflated

  • They did not put in enough air and the guy did not hold the rope so it was going up without hot air

  • *Big bird lol

  • Looks like the crown man didn't fully appreciate what his job was. Pull like f*ck. Should have put that fat bird on there, that would've done the trick!

  • why does he keep screaming hold it?

    why doesnt he hold it if hes so assed

  • The wind seems to be pretty light and it sounds like the fan was turned off. I believe if the fan had been left on through part of the inflation and the pilot had continued to burn it would have been a standard inflation. A heavier or additional person on the crown line would have helped as well.

  • First off, someone needs to hold that fan, so in a situation like this, they can easily move it out of the way. Secondly, if the pilot knew what he was doing, he could have waited to see how the balloon reacted, and in this case, shut the pilot's light and burners off and don't wait for your crown man to help you, he's already in a bad situation as it is. Move the basket in adjacent to the way the balloon wants to rotate. And just wait for the wind to die down, and if not, cancel the flight.

  • Just a change in wind direction, there is nothing you can do once that happens! you could have 10 people on the crown it would make no difference
