I have flown and crewed when I was younger. It was fun.I grew up with a guy who whose parents were avid hot balloon pilots. They'd spend a month in New Mexico every summer ballooning.

Actually rather safe for the most part. The most dangerous thing is power lines which it seems there is an accident almost annually during the Balloon Fiesta where some balloonist hits power lines.
The people that died here last month either hit a power line or had a basket failure (which would be really rare) but they all died. Sad af.
