Particularly Burt Flugalman's Cones:<br /><br />http://cs.nga.gov.au/Detail.cfm?IRN=89166<br /><br />I used to watch the balloons come in so low and it was obvious they often had little control. And the tops of those upright Cones are very sharp. I had a recurring nightmare of a balloon basket impaled on one. Or two. Or three.
