Hot air balloons are generally safe since there is no engine to cut out or die or that sort of thing. However, the danger of a hot air balloon is that there is no steering. Therefore it is logical to say that you don't know where you will land because you have no control over the wind and where it will take you; possibly into a power line, skyscraper, or some other danger. All in all, even being a risk taker, i personally would never ride in a hot air balloon, although the percentage of failed flights as opposed to successful flights is slim to none. (however that is the same percentage of airplanes, and we know that those have dangers too.)
There's a chance that the balloon will catch on fire during flight...
