A Cameron A-210 brushed trees and knocked down an ornament of the roof of the Tempio Voltiano museum in Como, Lombardy, during takeoff.
The seven occupants were not injured and the hot air balloon was not damaged.
Cause.
The cause of the event is attributable to human factors. In particular, the serious incident, involving the balloon colliding with a building, was determined by:
- Inadequate identification by the pilot of the takeoff area in relation to nearby obstacles (vegetation and buildings), along with a concurrent inadequate assessment of the associated risks.
- A reasonable underestimation of the existing meteorological conditions at the time of takeoff, especially concerning wind direction and intensity.
