To give everyone an idea about the size of these hot-air balloons, someone brought along an old balloon that's no longer safe to fly. They inflated that balloon with cold air from two fans, and then they let people in the audience walk into the balloon as it lay on its side on the ground. They'd never allow this with a balloon that was still going to fly since the feet of the people walking into the balloon could damage it and make it unsafe. I felt the material of this balloon, and it felt pretty strong, but there were some rips in the material so that's why it's no longer used for flying. You'll note how many people are standing around inside the balloon. I was in there, too, when I took this picture. It seems quite a bit larger when you're inside of it than when you look at one up in the air.
