- There is no set landing zone, which means they can land anywhere and it can get dangerous if you couldn't find a suitable spot (we landed in someone's backyard)
- Wind can take you anywhere, also it changes pretty fast when in an altitude and you can't control the direction, only the altitude of the balloon.
- There is no emergency equipment required on the balloon and the only thing you have is a harness to hold on to
- You need a license but the bar is pretty low
- FAA doesn't investigate the accidents, but NTSB does
* What does it mean for Lakadh to not have a legislature? Does it mean that this province cannot have elect local leaders?
> I think this means that they will not have legislative power in the government (aka similar to USVI or Puerto Rico in the US)
* Why are the prominent politicians under house arrest? What is their offence?
> I believe this is mostly to silence them to not agitate people. Also, these articles are widely misused and politicians amassed a lot of land since no outsiders can hold land in the area.
* Why were these two articles repealed?
> This is partly for political as well as some economical. Since no one can own a property or land in Jammy & Kashmir other than its residents, economy growth is much smaller in Kasmir than the rest of India and it helps boost Kasmir's economy. The political reason might be that the BJP government wants more power in the area.
