The pilot did not obtain the most current weather briefing available, which forecast high winds about his actual landing time.  The balloon encountered high winds and collided with an embankment in a field during a precautionary hard landing.  Factors in the accident were that the pilot did not have enough protective gear for all passengers as prescribed in the Flight Manual, and he did not brief the passengers that the gear was available or on its proper use.
