@Logan11350 True facts. That's why at the crowded festivals with over 50 balloons (ours in walla walla is small) stresses the pilots to be aware of the air space below and around them due to this fact. Points to you sir for actually knowing what you're talking about.

Holy eff! I'd crap my pants upon seeing a hole in that balloon if I'd been up in the air. I would never ever ever ever go up in a hot air balloon. Seriously. Someone would have to hold a gun to my head. The idea that I'm floating around in the air in a wicker basket, propelled by fire and helium....gahhhhhh

@The09Pker Balloon rides are awesome! It may seem unsafe until you get up close to one and see how they work.

It's fun ballooning and so not scary and in this video happens all the time except the balloon got ripped but people bump into each other all the time

@AstralDragoon That's some spendy "air rage" LOL It was simply pilot error on the black/multi colored balloon's pilot. The balloon below had the right of way in the air space since they can't see above them due to the balloon. Which is why saftey officer's at big rallys stress to be aware of what is around you in the air space.
