Most think balloon landings are scary, but they are usually smoother than braking at a stop sign !
Even if you have speed when landing, pilots are trained to fly close to the ground before landing to minimize the vertical impact. Then the wicker of the basket is fantastic to capture shocks : its flexibility makes it a perfect asset since the beginning of ballooning in 1783 !
Vegas Balloon Rides is also lucky to fly around the Mojave Desert, with plenty of empty spaces to land safely everyday since its creation in 2011 !
