I think I would improve on that with rappeller grabs boy and removes him from balloon and then the balloon can go its own way. If you could safely get close enough to the balloon. I suspect the danger is the boy even still in the balloon or did you do something fatal in a panic or does something in a panic at the moment of rescue. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
