Always fancied it, but the "controlled" crash aka landing kinda puts me off! Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

Been there, done that. A great experience for fantastic views and a very gentle and relaxing way to fly - the stop at the bottom can be another story though! 5.0 supercharged autobiography

Its great

Did my first and last one over scottsdale arizona just as the sun was coming up, the views were amazing and that was nearly 10 years ago now it was done.

Crash landing depends more on wind speed and how quickly they can get air out of the balloon as if it takes ages then you get dragged along as its still bouyant, get rid of the bouyancy quickly and stick to the floor quicker
