[VoG]

Noooooooo, oh well, at least i can stop ignoring my rumbling stomach.

 

[Dunks]

[Buckster]

why they talking about a backup ballioon ?

why they talking about a backup ballioon ?

He was making it sound like they are single use. Can't be the case surely?

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

So the most dangerous part is the descent and the second most dangerous part is the ascent? What else is there?

 

[physichull]

That's how he is making it sound. Find it hard to believe though.

 

[Buckster]

^^ yeah thats what I thought they were eluding to - too

perhaps so fragile that can only be blown up once ?

 

[Flare]

why they talking about a backup ballioon ?

Because I imagine it to be very fragile so with gusts like there just were it would not take much for it to be damaged,

I guess if it gets damaged in any way, there's a spare at hand.

Disappointed. Back to Strictly Come Dancing - It Takes Two, and Lisa Riley.

Just be the wind started gusting:

 

[Eliot]

Soo what now?

 

[Skillmister]

Soo what now?

Wait for tomorrow when the weather isn't set to be any better from what i can see.

The balloons are only made of a very thin plastic. You can put your finger through it without too much difficulty. They can only be flown with once as I think they 'pop' at high altitude.

 

[Cosimo]

Soo what now?

We wait for favourable conditions in a day or two.....

 

[Guru]

No wind now lol

 

[Cosimo]

Just before the abort:

That is caused by the wind gusting.

 

[Flare]

Wow, they expected him to reach 761mph in around 25 seconds after jumping.
