How did they know the subjects had never been in a hot air balloon before? I’d apparently been up in one as a child, but didn’t remember it until I went up in one as an adult (verified with parents fwiw). So it’s certainly possible some percentage of subjects may just needed a trigger and had actually been up in a balloon before.
