I might die on Saturday

Misleading thread title.

OP, don't listen to these chuckleheads.

When you die your blood will be so flush with endorphins and adrenaline that you won't really feel a thing.
 
Rock climbing, no rope, no problem. Skydiving, no problem.

Hot air ballooning? F that. I want to be in control, not blown wherever the wind takes the box I'm standing in. Zero desire to ever go up in a balloon. Ever.
 
TV has you scared. Studies show that over 3 times as many people are killed on the way to the vasectomy than in the actual balloon.

My recommendation: You gotta know when to bail.

no. the weather has always just not worked out for us. if its too windy they cancel, and their threshold for too windy is pretty strict. Probably a good thing.
 
I happened across a hot air balloon 'crash-landing' back in my LEO days. I was like wtf he looks awfully low...sure enough, I found it in a driveway (conveniently they missed the surrounding trees).

Nobody died though, so you might be ok!

Yeah, you'd be the guy who goes bungee jumping without a parachute. That would be like going swimming without a rope, or skydiving without a snorkel.

Every landing is a controlled crash, at least get something right someday.

I'm just trying to explain to you why you are wrong, as per your signature...

And once you reach the end of the line when you're still thousands of feet in the air what do you do just hang there? Chances are you'd just unhook and sky dive the rest of the way.

This would be fun too.
