Safety and Physical LimitationsWith any form of aviation, there are certain risks. It is important that each passenger understand the critical aspects of a flight, and that they assume the risks inherent, including the chance of personal injury, loss of life, or damage or loss of property. During your flight it is very important to follow the instructions of your pilot. Balloons are F.A.A. certified and registered aircraft, and your pilot holds a Commercial Pilot's license. Your pilot is the captain of your aircraft. Ask questions if you don't understand. It's for your safety and is your personal responsibility. You are required to sign an acknowledgement of this personal responsibility and a liability release as a condition of the flight. A parent or guardian is required to sign this acknowledgement in case of minor-aged passengers Even though we fly hot air balloons in ideal weather conditions, and most landings are softer than a typical airplane landing, ballooning is still an adventure sport. When landing in moderate winds, the balloon will bounce and bump along the ground. If higher winds exist, the balloon will tip on its side and drag. Therefore, we do not recommend a balloon flight for a passenger if they are younger than 8 years old, or older than 80, pregnant, or have physical conditions such as back problems, knee replacements or knee problems, replaced hips, recent surgery, heart problems, etc. If a passenger is not in perfect health, it is their responsibility to consult with their physician whether they should fly in a hot air balloon. All passengers must sign an Acknowledgement of Risk form prior to their flight. Acknowledgement and WaiverPlease print a copy for each passenger, and sign and date at the bottom. A copy of the signed acknowledgement and waiver is required prior to your flight.
