A hot air ballooning company which uses a wheelchair accessible hot air balloon. A wheelchair ramp enables the rider a smooth transition from the ground to the basket, and straps for the chair that lock all four wheels in place and a three-point body harness keep the person safe and secure. Plexiglass on one side of the wheelchair-accessible portion of the dual basket provides the seated rider with a bird’s-eye view paralleling that of standing passengers.
