I feel like these guys severely skew balloon safety statistics.
Team Rocket are actually great pilots! The spots they can get that balloon into and out of are absurd. They can take it seemingly whatever direction they want, with people and critters jumping into and out of the balloon at random.
They could be professional aeronauts, but their boss keeps making them chase a living high voltage hazard and his balloon-wrecking friends.
they blew up all the budget for tools, travel and hotels in a giant balloon shaped like their pet.
Lots of questionable choices, but cant deny their dedication to camp.
They weren't the only members of team rocket to use balloon travel.
We have no idea how it averages out.
