The greatest danger OF Il high ascent
in a balloon is concerned with the
changing density Of the atmoSphcre
On the ground the atmosphere presses
on the balloon with n weight OF about
fifteen pounds for every square inch
Of its surface. As the balloon rises
however. the air grows thinner ano
its pressure becomes IN consequence
less and less As the pressure OF the
outside atmosphere decreases the bal
loon expands, ald II the ascension Is
made tco rapidly or without sufficient
care the gas inside the silk envelope
will expand until the balloon bursts
But the bursting OF balloon In mid
air is 10y no means necessarily fata
catastrophe Every balloon IS proyiG
cd with u "ripping cord" which. wher
pulled. cuts II long rent in the envelope
out of which the gas speedily escapes
