Yep ballooning is great fun just drifting along and watching and listening. If they could work out a way to make the burners super quite it would be even better. Cheers. Hi Sandy …cool shot.

Don't think I could jump out of one though...especially from 5000ft. I try to avoid anything that involes the term "terminal velocity" !!

I have done about 5 ballon jumps from heights ranging from 2,000 ft to 5,000. They are waycool fun as there is no airspeed at all and you really get the sensation of falling until you reach terminal velocity!

I assume you had a parachute :-) How high do they have to be before it's safe to jump? Hey Mark….I knew you were a little crazy but not that crazy! I assume you had a parachute :-)
How high do they have to be before it’s safe to jump?

Yup they all made it back out of the water although a few did look like they were struggling for a while. Thankfully these were private balloons, they tend not to play this game in the big baskets with paying customers on board! Off to your site now to check out the baby dolphins :-) Hey Dave, How’s it going? Yup they all made it back out of the water although a few did look like they were struggling for a while.
