Summary:
皇冠体育app balloon was on a pleasure flight with twelve passengers aboard. 皇冠体育app passengers were standing in groups of three, in four separate compartments within the basket. 皇冠体育app basket is padded internally and has sufficient rope handles to assist each passenger in adopting the brace position for landing. 皇冠体育app pilot gave a safety briefing before flight and another prior to landing, which he re-enforced with further instructions just prior to the touchdown. 皇冠体育app passengers were instructed to face away from the direction of travel and lean against the sides of the basket compartments. 皇冠体育app pilot reported that the balloon landed normally on the smooth surface of a farm field, but the basket toppled over after landing. A female passenger, who reported that the landing was 鈥渧ery sudden鈥� and that the balloon 鈥渂umped and dragged鈥� after landing, felt pain in her leg, which she believes was a consequence of a male passenger falling against her as the basket toppled. She was later taken to hospital by the pilot and her leg was X-rayed. No fracture was apparent, and she was discharged. However, a further X-ray examination carried out a week later revealed a fracture.
