Didnt he do this a few years ago? My dad told me a story about it quite some time ago. And yeh, one of my friends posed the dropping the BB gun question, but you would probably just release the balloons manually.

Looks like fun though, must try that one day....

Well, according to the article he has made a few other attempts. The most famouse person to do this was Lawn Chair Larry, Unfortunatly despite his folk hero fame, Larry had some issues and is no longer with us. :'( I think there is an article about him on the Darwin awards site, either try that or google him if you want to learn more.

They tried Larry's flight on Mythbusters. Worked like a charm. Guy got fined by the FAA after he landed. He said "I'd only do it again if I had permission from the FAA...so it doesn't look like I'll be doin' it again." Check me on that since it was from memory.

Yeah, same here.   ::)

Some of our locals are a little...different.  But, I'm sure it was fun.
