During inflation of the hot air balloon, with some passengers already positioned in the basket, the launch restraint connecting the balloon to a vehicle, failed. The balloon, with its basket attached, was dragged across the field by the wind, causing the passengers being tossed around inside the basket and two passengers being thrown out. Of the six persons that sustained injuries during the accident, one was seriously injured.
