A hot air balloon operator used to be praised for the way in which he handled a skydiver TikTokers are calling "entitled" as he attempted to file a stunt video of him jumping from the balloon's basket with out informing the operator previously.

"Guy tries to be the main character resulting in ruining the ride for everyone..." a text overlay within the video reads in a TikTok uploaded by means of @cinashow that shows a dialog between a hot air balloon operator and a passenger who seems to wish to skydive out of the balloon.

The operator informs him that he is not high enough to leap from the balloon and that for each protection and prison functions he cannot be sky-diving from the balloon.

Here's how their dialogue is going down within the clip:

Operator: You're not high enough.

Passenger: I'm high sufficient.

At this point in their dialogue, it sounds just like the would-be-jumper is referencing the truth that he's paid thousands to try this, but the operator doesn't appear to care about that in any respect.

Operator: I do not give a s--- you have to inform this earlier than we want to ask for permission. We're not allowed to try this. We're in fact submitting a f------- allow and you can f--- us up. I'm telling you man we're in truth filing a allow if we do this illegally man, we are f----.

Even though he defined to the client that they might almost certainly be causing long-term and even everlasting harm to his industry/livelihood if he jumped and that stunts like those had to be cleared beforehand so the proper forms/allows are filed, the fellow did not seem to care.

Passenger: You just attempted to stop me.

Operator: What?

Passenger: You have it on video you simply tried to stop me.

Operator: I don't care. I can prevent you physically I'm taking place at the moment.

The operator then says he'll name the police and that he'll be taking the balloon down to prevent the man from jumping.

Someone at the balloon then attempts to interject and ask the operator to let move of his parachute strap, until a lady chimes in and repeats what the operator said — that allows are vital and that the fellow is pretty much ruining the ride for everyone else on the hot air balloon.

The passenger appears to persist in his war of words with the balloon operator asking him to "come on," probably to take a look at and simply let him leap out of the basket.

He's shot down through the operator who avers once more that jumping isn't an option below any instances, who helps to keep his hand firmly planted at the passenger's parachute rig.

When the passenger asks him to remove his hand, putting his hand at the operator's hand, the worker warns the person that he's going to hit him if he touches his hand again and that the one reason why he is firmly grasping the rig is to forestall the person from jumping out of the basket and ruining his business — that is after he radio'ed down to somebody he works with and informed them to call the police.

"I'm sorry," the operator says, earlier than explaining that he has been put in the place of physically restraining the person until he brings the hot air balloon decrease. It's at this level that the passenger after all capitulates, pointing out that he is brought the balloon right down to an altitude that will make it not possible for him to leap out of the basket safely.

Before the video cuts out, the passenger tells him that he's an skilled jumper who is logged some 2,000 skydiving jumps in his existence and that he up to now had more than sufficient clearance to accomplish the leap.

In the comments phase of the video there didn't seem to be too many of us who had been siding with the overzealous sky diver who just didn't seem to care that he used to be potentially jeopardizing someone else's entire trade just so he may just get any other leap in.

In fact, the operator was once praised for the way that he took care of the location: ""The man within the red hat is so dope, handled so smartly," one person wrote.

Another said that that prospective jumper wasn't just showing a lack of regard for the business but for other paying customers as well: "Mind you those rides are expensive! I think bad for those people."

More love was shown towards the balloon operator: "The way the operator interrupted his little speech with the fire," someone penned.

Someone else highlighted how much worse the situation could've been for another passenger — especially if they had planned their own special moment there: "believe u had deliberate to propose and this man was in ur balloon"

"The employee definitely wishes a promotion for handling this so frivolously," any other mentioned, applauding the operator.

For others, they have been simply amped to see a worker inform the skydiver they weren't all that inspired along with his revel in in jumping grand heights as he singularly caught to the safety of his industry.
