Safety and Risks
HOW SAFE IS BALLOONING?
Before you take a balloon ride you should be familiar with the risks involved. A balloon accident can result in extensive property damage, serious injury, and even death. Please read carefully our Assumption of Risk and Release of Liability Agreement and contact us if there is anything in it that you do not understand. If you are going to fly with us you will need to sign your own copy of this agreement when you arrive at the launch site.
HOW CAN WE MINIMIZE THE RISKS?
As required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), our balloon is inspected at a licensed facility annually, our pilots are licensed for commercial flight, and they each have a bi-annual flight review . Our pilots and crew attend annual safety seminars.
Before flying, each passenger signs the safety briefing after having a chance to ask any questions they may have about it.
We follow strict procedures in setting up, flying, and packing up the balloon and use checklists to ensure that we follow every safety procedure correctly.
OUR SAFETY RECORD
We started business on July 16, 2007. As of January 1, 2011 we have completed 100 flights. Total number of accidents: 0.
Being careful allows us to enjoy the pleasure of floating on air! |
