@@overseekgames9637 it is most commonly nylon or polyester fabric with a coating to hold the air in. It is not flammable but it can easily melt if it is in direct contact with the flame
I was coming into Springfield Missouri one time and a balloon landed on a 20 ft wide strip of grass between the highway and the exit. Don't think it was intentional.
As a 40 year comm balloon pilot I would have never thrown out a line like he did. Too high and only if you are low on fuel . But he had a knife to cut it. I only threw out the line once and the crew wrapped it around a tree. So it spun the basket around and I ended up bumping a small shed. Ha
I know this is likely a joke, but if you (or anyone else seeing this) like to know what he’s actually doing, he’s pulling the top of the balloon open so that it _doesn’t_ take off again
@@tomohara3101 Hard to tell, but it looked like to me the top was already out and he was running out to help the crown line guy pull the envelope out a bit better....I always liked to tell people 'How hard could it be, there's just a valve and a rope"
The only real navigation that you can do is going into wind currents that are blowing the right direction, there is no real steering, you can go up and down but other than that you are at the mercy of the elements.
This was frighteningly exactly like I thought it would be where you really don't know where you're going to land how is this shit even legal LOL if I ever fly in a hot air balloon it'll be one time and I'll be happy to be alive and trust me when I'm close to the ground I am jumping out of that basket
Jumping out of the basket is the perfect way to put you, the pilot, and every other passenger in immediate danger. Do some research, or please never fly in a balloon.
Good video. Are you a new pilot unfamiliar with laws when flying over populated areas? 2 balloon pilots got grounded for flying below the min. You aren't much higher than they were. Grounded. No fly. Its 1000ft or 2000ft above the highest obstacle. Can't remember. But either way you were around 300ft over some homes and it wasn't an optical illusion due to camera zoom. Maybe you got a waiver from FAA. If so you should put a disclaimer or something s. Risking people's lives. Fly safer next time.
I can only imagine some idiot with a drone tearing that balloon up and everyone crashing to the ground. You are always at risk by other humans. Im not human.
Scariest four words you'll ever hear from any pilot - "I'll try to land" 😕
I've heard one say..... chances are, we're gonna make it.
"try" 😬
I remember my pilot (who was a friend of ours) saying ‘’fuck fuck fuck’’ then i looked behind me and we crashed into a tree. We managed to get up but it was scary for a moment yeah
Awesome! I just loved watching that balloon fly and then try to land! Would love to try it someday!
Fantastic, thanks Andy
Wow seeing that dude walk inside.. I never noticed how big these things are. Also how scary having a giant torch near flammable fabric is.
Pretty sure they are made out of the same material firefighters jackets are 👍

Our is 90,000 ft3 and is 85’ tall and is on the smaller side of hot air balloons.
This one looks like a 510,000

Looked like a fine landing. That looks so fun!
I remember my first time flying a hot air balloon like this guy, my rookie days taught me a lot!! Now I can park her wherever I please 😊😏
Hi did you need to obtain a licence n how many flying hours , thanks
Interesting. Nice music to go with it

Really thrilling experience, greatly appreciated, wonderful landing view thanks for sharing very impressive video congratulations 🙏
Don’t think I would have the balls to attempt landing a balloon that close to a highway! Nice job!
I wouldn't really consider that a highway one car drove by the whole time they were there
@@ericcregeen-om8jcare you dumb or retarded

@@ericcregeen-om8jcwhat fuckin video were you watching?
That was dope man great job!!!!!🙏🏻🙏🏻❤💯
Never went on an hot air balloon ride, would love to before I die.
i wanna shoot all types of gun before i go
Take a parachute
Sounds great thing to experience, but it is scary though. I want to check some videos about the fisics behind it.
@ me too im scared
I love this ❤.
Which school is the best for me to be trained with? I want to become a hot air balloon pilot. Please help me for that.
Landing is the absolute hardest part.
Super video super muza
Looks fun 🤩

I wish they were a more common form of transportation.
Awsome SUBBED
Great video, kind of unpredictable landing though..
Haha. Look at the guys face at 1:01 he is clearly concerned of his life decisions.
Question...how much time was the flight and how many distance the hot air balloon travelled during the flight?
From what I remember, it was maybe two hours and roughly 10 km😀

What’s the name of the music in this video ?
I used to fly there, was certainly interesting.
Is it just me or was it really low the whole time
How will he land again?
to make landing easier, shouldnt balloons have anchors, like boats do???
I have an English chapter called the trip to le horla . I am here to visualise that chapter 😅
What’s The songs name
Is it flying
Just picking a landing spot on the fly.. “uhh this should work”
i used to see these very often as a kid on pei in the late 80s. nowadays? never
08:52 the balloon pilot is running away, leaving people alone in the balloon which is taking off again hahahahahahahaha :-)
I know this is likely a joke, but if you (or anyone else seeing this) like to know what he’s actually doing, he’s pulling the top of the balloon open so that it _doesn’t_ take off again
Who brought the Marshmallows?!
Flying a balloon isn't easy it requires very precise Burns and knowing how the balloon will react to each burn
yeah you have to make sure to point the burner at the fabric that always works well
Was that the pilot walking away, out of the basket, when the envelope was still inflated? That is a no-no!
@@tomohara3101 Hard to tell, but it looked like to me the top was already out and he was running out to help the crown line guy pull the envelope out a bit better....I always liked to tell people 'How hard could it be, there's just a valve and a rope"
Wouldn’t the fire melt the plastic ?
The burn has to be precise. Just enough.
How do they know where to meet & land
Meeting is easy, the same spot every time. After landing they drive you back to the meeting place 😃
😮
I have to do this
that's scary
Holy cow them people was stressed!
4:53 It's a wiener bush! lmao
Amazing
Please post a video how the navigation is done during flight. Thanks for this wonderful video.
The only real navigation that you can do is going into wind currents that are blowing the right direction, there is no real steering, you can go up and down but other than that you are at the mercy of the elements.
what music background?
LOL
Now I have an idea how to stock my crush home😘
Why isn't the globe spinning

Never.
call me crazy but ill jump from planes all day but wont ever catch me in a HAB lol
You & me both! Lol the more I look into this the more it makes me to not ever experience it :/ lol
@jubz3234 me too. just baught it but will return. big risk and money
it looked easy lol
They just land where ever they feel good wth
Obviously a newbie...why burning when you could have deflated slightly on the first one?

Are you aware that those laws are for flight and not for landing procedures, which this pilot is clearly doing.
This is Canada, so not the FAA.
Anyone else is on here cause they saw a video on tiktok 😭😭😭😭
This is not good landing
I would light a cigarette just see everybody's reaction.
I can only imagine some idiot with a drone tearing that balloon up and everyone crashing to the ground. You are always at risk by other humans. Im not human.
These balloons are thick enough to not be affected by a drone.
The drone would probably tear itself apart before it even leaves a mark.
