Balloon Flight Safety

Even before a balloon takes off Adventure Balloons have many safety checks. So those of you who are nervous about flying need not worry. A preflight preparation always takes place. The balloon pilot will check the weather conditions to make sure all is well before the flight and will also select the best take-off point.

Visibility is a big issue for flying a balloon and the weather conditions must be right for the balloon flight to take place. Obvious obstructions when flying need to be taken into consideration and if visibility is poor a balloon flight may not take place. The launch site for the balloon needs to have sufficient area to basically lay out the balloon and inflate it without any obstruction such as poles or powerlines and trees. Wind needs to be predicted in such a manner that the balloon will take off as required. All safety aspects for the balloon flight are considered from the amount of fuel the balloon needs to any other hazards that may potentially effect the flight.

Adventure Balloons believe that balloon flight safety comes first.
