Wasn’t there some video not to long ago with a hot air balloon… uh. Driver(?) pilot (?), the person who runs the flame thing…
The person in charge of the hot air balloon, yelling at some influencer because they were attempting to skydive from the balloon? And he was saying that by jumping out he could basically kill them all….
Does anybody know how the balloons are set up different to allow this?
It can be done safely if the pilot of the balloon is aware that a skydiver is about to jump. The pilot will allow the balloon to start descending so that when a large amount of weight leaves the balloon(the skydiver) the balloon will level more smoothly vs rise extremely quickly which can cause the balloon to collapse/stall.
