A GRAPE ESCAPE BALLOON ADVENTURE takes no responsibility if your physical limitation is aggravated by your balloon flight.

Although we are fully insured, our insurance company requires all passengers read and sign a Release of Liability Waiver. PLEASE REVIEW THE WAIVER PRIOR TO YOUR SCHEDULED FLIGHT AND BE PREPARED TO SIGN IT WHEN YOU CHECK IN.  If English is not your first language, please have the waiver translated and make sure that you understand and acknowledge your acceptance.  You will not be allowed to participate in the balloon flight without signing a Release of Liability Waiver.

The attire for ballooning is casual.  We take off and land in open fields and there are no doors on the basket, you will be climbing in and out. To maximize your enjoyment, dress appropriately for the weather on your scheduled flight date and remember that the temperature on the ground is very similar to the temperature you will feel in the air.  We require you wear athletic shoes, and long pants.  It is recommended that you dress in layers (t-shirt, sweatshirt, or jacket) to increase your comfort.  For your safety, shorts, open toed and high heeled shoes are not allowed.  Due to heat generated by the balloon, a hat is preferable for tall passengers.
