“Hot Air Ballon” aka “Death Trap”.
One of my cousins went for an “innocent” ride in a hot-air balloon. A (freak?) gust of wind blew the balloon into a high tension power line (one of the big ones, metal tower type). Balloon hung up and ignited. She and pilot burned to death. She was about 23. Horrible.

When I was 13, I had a cousin walking along a sidewalk who was hit and killed by a driver not paying attention. Does that mean sidewalks are "death traps" as well? If so, I'll try to avoid them in the future.
