ÞPlease
do not smoke around balloons. Propane is highly flammable.
ÞPlease
do not touch the balloons as they are stretched out prior to inflation
unless you have been invited to help as part of the chase crew.
ÞStand
clear of any ropes or tether lines and do not hesitate to move young children
if you are concerned for their safety.
ÞTraffic
congestion delays the balloon chase vehicle from getting on track to it’s
balloon. Please be considerate about vehicle parking or stopping
the traffic flow.
ÞPlease
feel comfortable to approach a crew member (if they are not busy prior
to launch) to ask questions. After the flight is an even better time
to make new friends . . . and gain knowledge.
ÞWatch
out for moving chase vehicles.
ÞDo
not enter private property without permission. Once a balloon has
landed, the crew chief must seek permission for the chase team and vehicle
to enter the property.
ÞFollow
all signs and traffic directions.
ÞArrive
at the field early to watch the launch in order to avoid traffic congestion
and the possibility of missing the launch.
