no .... do it

I would be amazed if the bump fractured anyones bones however weakened

Yes I was first up in Luxor after the 'flamer ' and went up with the Mayor of Luxor and a few other notables - so I er didnt enjoy it much
but it was good and saw the sun rise over the temples etc
I have had the good fortune to have been on a number of balloon rides, both with large groups and just with the pilot. Only once out of all of these trips was it a rough landing and tipped over but we were prepared for this so no drama there. If in doubt speak to your doctor and with who ever you chose to fly with for their advice. If you go I hope you really enjoy it. It's an amazing experience.
Plenty of 'hot air balloon rides' in the News section on AB millie. Have that balloon ride if as you say, you would love it.

I would just do it
soon !
your bones are unlikely to get stronger ....
I did it in the Masai Mara - brilliant.

You are more likely to be injured by a burnt head than by the landing.

Get a hat!

Ooh thanks, that's what I wanted to hear. I'm gonna go for it!
I know I sound like a total ingrate but I felt it was a bit disappointing, like standing at a window watching the world go gently by with little sensation of movement. That was over the Valley of the Kings, one balloon almost wound up in Libya, he misjudged the thermals, we were back for a late breakfast, they apparently missed dinner!
