It's one thing to skydive after jumping off a plane. Now it looks like people who love to live life on the edge have taken this risky, yet popular activity to the next level. Instead of jumping off a plane, what about jumping off a hot air balloon?
Hot air balloons are completely different from jumping off a plane. These popular things offer a completely different experience than a typical skydive. Everything from the ride up to the landing brings something new to the table. Standing in a wicker basket and floating thousands of feet into the air is quite a bit different than hunkering down in the steel body of an airplane.
Some places will let you do your very first jump out of a hot air balloon — as a tandem, of course! But most hot air balloon jumps require a certain level of certification and training. A “B” license or higher is generally accepted as the standard for jumping out of a hot air balloon.
With the different procedures, extra planning, and higher stakes landings, it’s important to have the knowledge and experience necessary to make the balloon jump a safe one. After all, skydiving is supposed to be fun, not scary
