I was one of the crew in this balloon with the expertise of the Brazilians Kaio and Filipe and some very skillfull flying. Thank you to the people of Bristol and those on the downs for putting some body weight on the basket when required to anchor us down and stop us dragging. The Ice Cream van was not touched and he sold hundreds of Ice Creams !!! Thank you everyone Andrew Kaye

Fantastic! - I knew that someone up there must have filmed it; good work! I was watching from a little further down the road towards the bridge.
Stunning flying though, it looks even more impressive close up. Well done to the pilot, the crew and all involved. First class ballooning.

From speaking to someone apparently it did actually clip the ice cream van!
