Afraid of Heights on a hot air balloon
Many people think they would not enjoy a hot air balloon ride because they are afraid of heights. In fact, ballooning offers an opportunity to experience heights without fear. Because the balloon travels with the wind, you feel no wind against your face-- it is a serene, peaceful experience! Many passengers show up fearful they will not enjoy the flight due to fear but over the years, fewer than 5 out of 8000+ passengers have had issues. The most common refrain I hear is, "I'm not afraid at all...If I had known it was this easy, I would have done it years ago!"
Here are some testimonials from customers who weren't sure if they could do it:
"For years I wanted to experience a balloon ride but always found a reason not to-- fear of heights being the main issue. Kevin calmed my anxiety with his expertise and scientific explanations, helping to assure even the most dubious that it is possible to relax and enjoy at higher elevations. As I write this I'm still aware of the fears I felt when we first left the earth, and how gradually they lessened until I could enjoy the ease of moving toward the mountains and begin to truly be present to where I was. Keeping my feet grounded although I felt I was not, helped a great deal. And I missed the mountain lion for fear of looking down, but overall, was thrilled with the experience!"
-- Barbara Goldberg, New Mexico
"I was scared when I saw how big the balloon was in person, but decided to go up anyway. At first, I didn't want to let go of the corner post, but Kevin created such a relaxed and friendly atmosphere and was such a competent pilot that I felt totally safe. I was able to let go and enjoy the ride, and I wasn't even scared for the landing!"
