1Yes, of course it is dangerous. If the balloon bursts, I would plunge to the ground and be dead. Also, I might be frozen to death at night if the heating equipment fails
2I don't want to fly there on a balloon. After all, such a flight is really meaningless, and I won't get any benefits from it

1 I think he should be punished; otherwise people might follow suit and also visit Buckingham Palace without approval, causing disorder. But he does not deserve a severe punishment because he did not have a criminal intent and did not cause a serious problem.
2 Paragliding may be the most exciting form of flying, but it seems to me to be a bit dangerous. Staying in a helicopter is safer and you can enjoy the scenery more clearly than in a plane. Flying by plane, you can hardly see anything interesting, but you can travel more quickly and comfortably to distant places. Personally, I would like to fly in a helicopter for both the fun and the safety.
