皇冠体育app

Cameron Z-350 balloon, G-VBFH

Summary:

皇冠体育app balloon landed gently in light wind, and the basket remained upright. 皇冠体育app pilot supervised initial disembarkation of four or five passengers, who assisted with the balloon control lines to ensure proper deflation of the envelope. Once the envelope was sufficiently deflated such that any risk of the balloon basket moving was removed, the pilot (who was still in the basket) instructed the remaining passengers to disembark. 皇冠体育app pilot and his ground crew, who had recently arrived, became aware that a female passenger had fallen to the ground whilst getting out of the basket and suffered a significant leg injury. An ambulance was called to attend.

皇冠体育app pilot reported that the passengers received a safety briefing prior to flight and practised procedures for getting into and out of the basket. 皇冠体育app basket had not moved during disembarkation and he thought it likely that the passenger had misjudged the distance to the ground. It is possible she had not used the lower of the foot step holes in the basket side.
