Of all the ways to go, in a flaming hot air balloon must be one of the worst

Takes going down in a blaze of glory to a new level. The pain and height would suck, but at least I knew I'd almost certainly have the most memorable death of anyone I knew.

I thought the same thing when I saw that on the news.

Do you jump and at least have a rush before you die or sit and burn while listening to your SO scream and burn? I say jump.

From what I've read, they all jumped from the basket.

My question is why the frick do people still go in hot air balloon rides.

There isn't anything smart about it, and there are many deaths related to this every single year.

I would have jumped and hope for a lucky break like some people have gotten after falling.

I once got to float around BR in an untethered balloon. We had a rough landing in a small congested spot, but that was pretty fun. The quietness when you're floating sans for the pilot giving it more gas is an eerie feeling.

I would have looked for a lake or a pool below and possibly a trampoline, and then I'd have jumped.
