Is the hot air balloon accident rate high?

The accident rate of hot air balloon is small, only 0.08%.

Hot air balloon, a balloon that uses hot air as buoyancy gas. The bottom of the airbag has a large opening and a hanging basket for cold air heating. After heating, the air density decreases. When the temperature reaches100 C, the density is about 0.95kg/m3, which is11.3 of air, so the lift-off is not high. Modern hot air balloons are equipped with simple flying instruments, fuel tanks and blowtorches in the hanging basket. When taking off from the ground, ignite the blowtorch, heat the air and inflate the airbag from the opening at the bottom of the airbag. After liftoff, control the fuel injection quantity of the blowtorch to control the balloon to rise or fall. Hot air balloons first appeared, and now flying in hot air balloons has become a favorite air sports. In addition, hot air balloons are often used for aerial photography and air travel.
