We must hope that our current selves will one day step aside to make room for better versions of us.

Hmmm...

I like to imagine they all have race horsie names.

"And up to the start we have Big Bertha Of The Continential Divide. Men are lining up to shoot, and oh no, it appears none of them have been able to connect. Coming up onto the range is Commando The Motion Picture and Oh Dear he's picked an upwind and none of the men seem to hit it. Will any of these brave vessled be felled by man's might? But, oh what's this? Jenkins lines up and Oh My God, he's connected! Smoke! Flame! Crashing to the Ground, Oh The Humanity has been conquered by Jenkins!"

Can confirm. Even if it managed to take out a load tape, you'd want/need to repair it before another flight to prevent further damage. Wouldn't make a difference at the time. Worst case, it somehow severs a vent line and the ballon can either not rotate in 1 direction, or quickly vent the hot air. Either situation is not great, but trained for and generally easy to deal with.

They weren't endangered at the time. It's kind of like how the Bahaman government banned subsistence fishing after gleefully making bank from the fishing trawlers that made the measures required in the first place.

I love everything about these two. Even in the artist's illustration you see two drivers running into the immediately obvious problem of "what happens when you meet a car going the other way?" I love how the autogyro joust would be deadly enough on its own, but on top of everything it's being held over a parking lot that people can still drive in and out of, all while people watch maybe 10 feet away.

the book's called Zany Afternoons if you want to look it up, the zany afternoons in question being the insane things bored jaded rich people do to amuse themselves, to the detriment of themselves and others.





there were also descriptions of insane imaginary aircraft and cars.

Oh sure. You say that now, but once my butler slams my flying boat into the side of the Sears Tower for my amusement all of a sudden I'm the rear end in a top hat. Nice try, when I'm rich I'll just start buying $500 hamburgers and $2000 ice cream sundaes, thank you very much.
