- No Smoking IN And Around The Balloon at all times. If you are feeling unwell, if you have any medical conditions or you might be pregnant please inform the Pilot before the balloon is inflated.
- During inflation do not walk between the trucks and the balloon. Stay behind the red barrier cord until asked to “All Aboard” by the Ground Crew or your pilot .
- To climb in – use the step-holes in the side of the basket. Once you are in the basket do not get out, even after landing – stay in the basket until the Pilot tells you it is safe to get out.
- Do not touch any colored ropes, the fuel-hoses or any of the burner controls. Before take-off your pilot will ask all passengers to practice the landing position as follows:
- Safely stow all phones, cameras, binoculars etc, do not have anything loose around your neck if you have long hair-please tie it up or tuck it away.
- Face backwards to the direction of travel.
- Hold onto the rope handles woven into the basket side-wall in front of you.
- Sit down on the seat.
- LEAN BACK against the basket padding, sit upright and do not lean forward.
- Place your feet flat on the floor with your toes away from the basket wall.
- Stay in this position until the Pilot tells you it is safe to move.
- When the Pilot gives the command “LANDING POSITIONS” please comply IMMEDIATELY, this is very important for the SAFETY of all of the PASSENGERS.
- The landing might be a series of bounces and the basket might lay on its side and drag along the ground until it stops.
- Stay in the LANDING POSITION until the Pilot tells you it is safe to move.
- In the unlikely event of an emergency – please follow the instructions given by the Pilot at all times.
- If you do not understand any part of these instructions, please inform the Pilot before the balloon is inflated.
- Thank you for reading these instructions and hope you enjoy flying with us.
