Using parachutes/hot air balloons in website designs has almost become a trend now. Even though this is not a common element, there are quite a few websites(which I have listed below) that might contribute to evolution of this new trend.
I have also included a FREE parachute graphics package(Fireworks png) at the bottom of this post.

But of course balloons and parachutes are trendy (or should be)
I catch myself all to often doodling balloons, simply because they are fun to draw, and I guess they also symbolize some kind of freedom

They are more like hot air balloon that the parachutes though
They suit the sky/cloud/rainbow trends, also represent freedom.
