He's lucky as hell to be alive after that.

I went to the Balloon Festival in New Mexico one year and saw one get blown into a set of those really high power lines (high enough to have those orange plastic balls on them so planes/helicopters don't hit 'em)... The balloon part separated from the basket part and 3 people fell to their deaths. Freaked me the frick out.

One of the times I got married was in one

Wouldn't call it a crash landing but it was rough. Bounced down into a trailer park. Had a second balloon filming. They did crash. Worse than crash injuries was that they landed in a giant hornet's nest. A couple of the guys had to be hospitalized from many stings.

It was prolly too windy to go up. We learned later that the operator was waiting for sentencing to go to a federal pen.
