Glass-Bottomed Hot Air Balloon Experience

Christian Brown, a balloon pilot of 18 years best known for his trip around the world in a hot air balloon with Sir Richard Branson and his world record for tethered altitude (10,000 feet) has created the world's first glass-bottomed hot air balloon.

Decribing the experience as terrifying, Brown went on to say:

We've done tethered trials before, which usually end with passengers shrieking and screaming in fear, but this is the first time we've actually taken to the skies unaided. Ordinarily, you would look over the edge of the basket to peer at the ground below but there is something very disconcerting about seeing it right beneath your feet.
