The crown line helps to stabilise the balloon as the crew prepare to lift off, or as the balloon rocks around in breeze conditions pre flight. Post flight the crown line is used to pull the balloon over and not allow it to sinking down on the burner and basket.

I crew for a Dawn Patrol balloon evwry year at Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta and I hold the Crown Line often. Its a lot of fun !

Hard work I bet A) doing it in the dark but B) surrounded by so many people, do you hang lights off the crown line?

[@THEGLASSMANSWORLD]

@@TheBigBalloonFestival We simply keep the line on the ground until inflation so the crowds can walk over it safely. And then we use our headlamps to illuminate the line and have several spotters along the line doing crowd control to make sure no one gets clotheslined or trips over our line. But I have seen some teams with rope lights or LEDs on the crown line.

[@TheBigBalloonFestival]
