You jump out the window, holding onto your hot air balloons, and escape to freedom!

So here’s the thing: these balloons have enough lift to carry you and then some …

… which means when you grab hold of all your hot air balloons and jump out the window, you jump keeps going higher and higher.

Before you realize what’s happening, you are extremely high above the ground and gaining altitude steadily.

You can let go of one balloon in order to reduce your lift, but if you reduce it too much, you’ll start falling at an ever-accelerating pace and hit the ground too fast.

On the other hand, you can’t hold on to these balloons forever. Eventually, you’ll slip and let go of all of them, in which case you’ll be dead for sure.

But maybe you’ll be over water at that point and survive?

Somehow?

What do you do?

Hold on to the balloons as long as you can

Let go of the smallest balloon and hope for a soft landing
