Just imagine the feeling of complete freedom when a huge balloon lifts you into the air. To admire the beauties of Moscow from a bird’s-eye view is a fabulous reality that will surely leave behind only positive emotions and energize you for a long time to come.
How is a hot air balloon organized?
Despite the apparent extreme, the balloon is quite safe and meets all the necessary requirements if the instructions are followed.
So, the balloon consists of three main elements.
- Dome – this element is filled with gas, with the help of which the flight itself is possible.
- Burner – without this part it is impossible to create streams of hot air. He, in turn, fills the dome during the balloon flight.
- The basket – the place where the participants of the flight are located.
How to behave during a balloon flight: basic rules
For the safety and comfort of your flight, you should adhere to the rules of behavior.
- Children under 16 years of age are not allowed to fly without an adult escort. Children from the age of seven can go on the flight with parents. However, the child’s height should be higher than 130 cm.
- If a potential participant of the flight has mental illness or panic attacks – then it is necessary to refrain from the venture.
- It is also forbidden to fly to pregnant women and disabled people of the 1st and 2nd group.
- On board the flying machine you should listen to the instructor and do not allow yourself liberties. In addition, it is strictly forbidden to take any sharp objects with you on the balloon, which can harm your health and damage the balloon itself.
- It is strictly forbidden to climb into the basket of the ball in high heels.
- Preferable sports clothes and loose shoes according to the weather. Do not forget about headgear: in scorching sun you need a baseball cap, and in light rain – a hood.
And most importantly: first of all, you should agree with your instructor on the maximum height you are willing to climb. If you are a beginner – the ideal is to climb 500 meters or 1 km. From this height you can enjoy the beauty and serenity of flight.
In addition, the weather affects your ability to take to the skies. The air temperature at which flights are made is from -15°C to +25°C. In strong winds and precipitation, aerial entertainment is impossible.
How does the landing take place?
Pay attention to the instructor’s commands. If you have a camera with you, hang it around your neck. The same applies to the phone – knowingly put it away in a bag. This is necessary to keep the hands of the flight participants free.
As soon as the balloon starts to land, you are not allowed to move around the basket. You should bend your legs at the knees and hold tightly with your hands on the special handrails. Keep in mind that touching the edges of the basket is strictly forbidden.
