Mr Hobbles Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 ...in a lawn chair. http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/07/10/flying.la...r.ap/index.html This is simply AWESOME. Ingenious. Highly dangerous, but who cares! *y* (Goes to buy a lawn chair and some balloons) Seriously, this is on my todo list before I die. :-D Quote
Sir Dillon Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 Haha, that is so awesome! :-D I remember seeing something like that in a movie... Quote
Capn Kirk 911 Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 I think someone has done this before.... MythBusters did a whole episode on it. Quote
Norrington Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 MythBusters did a whole episode on it. They also did one about a Chinese man attcahing fire works to his chair and flying to the Moon. You can guess what happened to the test dummy :-X Anywhos, this sounds... incredibly stupid, to say the least. He could have fallen and broken his pelvis, arms, legs, neck, spine, law, nose, and lots of other stuff! Quote

He could have fallen and broken his pelvis, arms, legs, neck, spine, law, nose, and lots of other stuff! Apparently he had a parachute with him. The article says first time he did it he tried popping the balloons with a BB gun by he was descending too rapidly and so had to jump off the chair and use the parachute. Quote
