Re: Hot Air Balloon Accident in Brazil kills 8 people, 13 survive
Add this to the list of ways I'll never die because I'm such a pussy when it comes to heights. Unless they have a balloon that only goes five feet off the ground. And even then I'll wear a parachute.

Re: Hot Air Balloon Accident in Brazil kills 8 people, 13 survive
Speaking of being afraid of heights, if you're a fellow pants-pisser-more-than-10-feet-off-the-ground like me, try watching a movie called Man on Wire. This is a documentary about a guy who strung a line between the two world trade center buildings and walked back and forth several times. I've not been able to finish watching it, my ass puckers the moment he starts the walk and I tap out.

Re: Hot Air Balloon Accident in Brazil kills 8 people, 13 survive
I didn't see 8 people jumping. I wonder if they jumped at a part that wasn't being filmed or they stayed in the basket & burned alive.

Go for a tandem jump & overcome that fear. You really don't have to do much besides go along for the ride.

She only screamed when the ballon started to disintegrate at the very end. Not once when a single person fell.  |

Could be that the 13 survivors knew Portuguese, and the 8 did not.  |
