Weird Facts About Hot Air Balloon Denver Residents Should Know

By Pamela Gibson


In the early times of the century, hot air balloons were the ones used in carrying people all through. This was before the famous Wright brothers came into existence. The following article outlines some of the strange facts that people have realized on hot air balloon Denver.

Just like any other experiment done on this earth, monkeys were the only animals that could be used to perform the testing of the balloons. The balloons were made to rise at very high heights of 1500 feet in eight minutes. The first experiment was performed to fly on top of French court around Versailles and Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette.

Another strange thing about the venture is that only the criminals were allowed to use it because they were not considered to be worth living. This was the idea of Louis XVI. From here, there was a scientist who came up with the idea of allowing professionals people to fly the balloons. Here, they were able to be on the space for 20 minutes. This is how the first people knew that they were capable of flying the flights.

The first person who flew the balloons is said to be the first victim in experiencing a crash.This was when the victim, Rozier, and his co-pilot decided to break a record of crossing the English in an air-filled bag. It was later noted that the air-filled bag was half hot air and the other half hydrogenated. The balloon exploded just that minutes after takeoff.

These balloons did not go with the locals especially the farmers. This is because they felt that they were scaring them and did not like them around. They also affected their environment because of the smoke that they produce. The balloons also affected their plants especially when they landed on their farms thus making them experience huge losses.

After the balloons had been perfect in flying, the French men decided to try fighting while in the balloons. The balloons were used in the battle in the year of 1808. So many people were assembled in the streets and cities to watch the match. During the battles, very many fighters lost their lives after the air-filled bag got a puncture after having being shot.

In the early 80s, for the period of the war of Fleurus, there was known one as Entreprenant, which was used for observations purposes to discourage enemies from reaching their area. It had some support and could fly for nine straight hours without fail. Professionals used their power to ensure it had a steady landing.

Lastly, people liked the goodness that came with these facilities. They used them as ways of earning money through creating a good show everyone to watch. A balloon was burned over the hot air and then a man attached in a basket tied on a parachute. Once the air-filled bag was released and reach its highest level the man would then detach from it and open up the parachute. The people watching would cheer and feel good about it.
