I think the pilot's marijuana use is something of a distraction. Some people come to New Zealand under the impression that it's just another theme park. It isn't.
Bungy jumping, white water rafting, parachute jumping, jet boating, mountain climbing, and in this case ballooning, all contain an element of risk. The best we can hope for is that the risks are recognised and managed appropriately, but there have been, and will be, fatalities.
None of hese activities were designed by Disney's "imagineers", and New Zealand is definitely not Disneyland.
There is a grey blur, and a green blur. I try to stay on the grey one. - Joey Dunlop
