I watched that on the 10:00 news last night. I was injured in a hot air balloon accident, and I have to tell you that he is lucky to be alive. Falling 20 feet could have killed him. I cracked some ribs, knocked both knee caps loose and messed up my spine. It took four operations to put me back together again. Needless to say, I will never take a ride in one again!

Hope you have recovered.

My fear if heights, not to mention good sense has kept me out of them ;)

I was injured in a hot-air balloon related accident back in 1998. I was on the freeway during a mass ascension, and some lady rear-ended me - obviously distracted by 500 balloons hovering around the freeway. This happened on SB 25 near the Griegos exit, and traffic was at a full stop.
