TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - Severe sunburn after a hot air balloon ride: a case report and literature review JO - Journal of travel medicine A1 - Oztürk, Sinan A1 - Karagoz, Huseyin SP - 267 EP - 268 VL - 22 IS - 4 N2 - Hot air balloon tours are very popular among travelers worldwide. Preventable burn injuries associated with hot air balloon rides have been reported during crashes into power lines, in propane burner explosions, and following contact with the propane burner tanks. We present a case of severe repeated sunburn, which poses another risk of preventable injury during hot air balloon rides, and briefly discuss the injury epidemiology of hot air balloon rides.
