I agree that this one will go to the plaintiffs, for the reasons already mentioned, but no one yet also pointed out that while the collision with the utility line started the chain of events, it was actually the failed attempt to free the balloon (tether broke) that threw the one passenger to the ground, and was in the chain of events prior to the crash - had they successfully tethered it, it wouldn't have crashed? - so I would think the primary allegations would be failure to inspect the equipment (tether), using faulty equipment, and negligent operation of it, as that may have contributed to its failure.
