Aand thats it. Cant really imagine anything scarier than staying on there.

How about imagining that it is also filled with hydrogen and covered in thermite? That is probably a bit scarier.

This was a US dirigible. By 1926, the dangers were known and the US had already transitioned from Hydrogen to Helium. This one was built in Germany, flown to the US, then immediately had its gas changed from H to He several years before this incident occurred.

IDK, falling out would probably be scarier
