Ballons and pregnancy

Hi

I'm thinking on offering a hot air balloon ride to my brother and his wife but she is 7 month pregnant. Does any of you know of any problems this might have?

cheers!

Probably better to wait til after delivery as there is always a high probability of the basket getting dumped on landings. Depending on where they are flying, there might be the chance of a decent hike out fro the landing point. Balloon rides are neat...it's just the landings can be a little rough. Been up once and chased and crewed them quite a bit in my younger days. Never had anyone get hurt when I was crewing, but several did get banged around a bit in hard landings.

They should love the flight when they get to take it.
