Ok. I admit. I laughed when I first read this. I really do hope she is ok though. But first thing that popped into my mind was she had a Wile Coyote moment.

Woman falls after dangling from hot air balloon
BETHLEHEM TOWNSHIP, New Jersey (AP) -- A woman helping her husband launch his hot-air balloon was critically injured when her leg got caught in a rope and she was pulled up into the air and fell through the roof of a barn.
Kathleen J. Long, 53, of Phillipsburg, was in critical condition Monday morning at St. Luke's Hospital in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The accident happened Sunday in Bethlehem Township, New Jersey.
It was not clear how Long's leg got caught in the rope. Witnesses say she dangled from it for a short time and passed through several tree tops before she was knocked off.
She then fell about 50 feet and crashed through the barn roof, officials said.
