Interesting. I'd like to see the launch of one of these. Balloons start out lying on their sides on the round, and it doesn't look like there is enough slack for the pilot to be standing up while the balloon is on its side. Landing could be interesting too. Does the pilot lie down as he's emptying the air out of the envelope? If he unhooks himself, the lack of weight will make the thing take off.
