Jimbo said in the weekly mailbag that he wouldn't get in one in case they crashed. Well, I have to say I've been in one - my daughter bought me a flight for my birthday a few years ago. They are expensive, about $400 but well worth it. The company I went with - Balloon Sunrise - were very safety conscious, co...
