Watch: Skydivers 'Chill' On Trampoline Tied To Hot Air Balloon Before The Big Jump

For most people, skydiving itself is a serious adventure sport activity but now a group of thrill seekers have managed to mix three playful activities into one. Earlier this week, Emilliano Ribeiro, an adventure sports enthusiast shared a video that showed him and a group of people attaching a trampoline over a hot air balloon and then playing with a ball over this suspended trampoline, several feet above the land. After some point, they take off for skydiving from this trampoline. The video captures the stunning view of a group of people playing over a trampoline as they fly over a layer of clouds.

While sharing this video on Instagram, Ribeiro wrote, “Doing epic projects with an epic crew is simply the best thing in life. And we’re just starting…Thank you to all the legends involved in this one."

This video has gathered hundreds of likes, since it was posted on January 16. Many people described this video as “Amazing" and “Surreal." An Instagram user wrote, “What was your altitude for the jump?! Super cool love this I wanna go!"

While Ribeiro and his friends managed to incorporate multiple adventure activities in one gig, sometimes a basic hot balloon ride becomes complicated. In April 2022, a hot balloon flying over Melbourne in Australia malfunctioned and the pilot was forced to land the balloon over a residential area.

A video captured by one of the passengers Jayde Magookin that showed the balloon passing over roofs and trees and finally landing on a tree and falling to the ground went viral. Fortunately, all 13 passengers on the ride were unharmed. The hot air balloon landed at 7:20 am in Elwood.

Karen Marriage who was on the balloon told ABC News, “Apparently it was a brand-new balloon and was faulty and didn’t perform as it was meant to. There’s a valve at the top that opened and also should have closed and that meant that heat was escaping and they needed to use much more fuel than anticipated and we ran out." She also praised the pilot for safe landing in perilous circumstances. She said, “The pilot did an amazing job, he missed the powerlines, he missed the cars, some big elm trees buffeted our fall." The pilot, Mr Brau, who has 27 years of experience as a hot air balloon pilot, thanked the passengers for being calm and cooperating with him during the dangerous turn of events.
