Crazy Lawn Chair Balloon Flight!

[Ultranothing]

It's been done...

[papercandles]

There is a movie with some guy floating on a lawn chair lol

[oodoodanoo]

@kaos3124 They probably do. The ending shot looks showing a trip that goes from the San Diego desert over the beginning of the Gulf of Mexico and landing in Baja California (Mexican territory).

If anything, he's the illegal.

[markstarr66]

That dudes got balls that clank!...very cool  Now im of to watch those crazies in those 'flying squirl" suits

[MusicManAustralia]

UP

[Darkbolt83]

Enormous !

i'm a pilot irl, never saw that!

Congratulations!

[bbrake]

I kind of want to do this, but with just enough helium to float five or ten feet in the air, so I can pole my way along the ground just below me.

[TheZohaun]

You sir inspired the movie Up

[10231949]

cool this guys got balls of steel

[TheRedDal3k]

I really like this guy :)

[Vyncentt]

Burger construction.

[k6mfw]

Very impressive. Good launch site, unlike the original lawn chair flyer who launched in middle of city and to have a heavy buzzing him instead of a Cessna. However those powerlines look scary near the landing site. 

[qweqweqwe727]

Very nice, good job guys:)

[lewandlo]

The future of flight eh??? It may take a while to get to your destination but hey you save lots of money heheheh . gr8 stuff

[THENOOB22]

[itsmepoppy1]

[Jasun1974]

[applesweeter]

Dear All,

I have some questions about psychology:

(1) Why do we love flying?

(2) Why do we like to fly on a balloon chair?

(3) What will be the joy to fly on an balloon chair comapring with flying on a commercial jet?

(4) Why do we want to take risk in the sky?

(5) From the story of Larry, what American value did he demonstrate?

THANK YOU IN ADAVNCE for your creative ideas and brainstorm!!! :)

[derekbloxom]

i salute ur braveness lol

[Maxid1]

The landing was truly amazing!

[Maxid1]

Did you do this before or after the movie Danny Deckchair?

[Halstead2009]

scew American Air lines, this is free and who need first class lol

[wrathallll]

thats my dream, i wanna do that so badly

[99nightowl]

I WANT 1!!!

[sabianboy14]

I'm doing this shit!

[TarProduction]

@XLR8inFERno Each balloon was tied to the craft, so no waste/balloons went into the ocean. Hope that helps!

[wrathallll]

@TarProduction 'cept the 50 or so 1's that were cut off at the end!?!?!

[grenade787]

@TarProduction no some ballons floated away!!!

[Malegnius]

Notice the Secret World Government black helicopter uncloak itself at 1:49

[Furious321]

@Malegnius Um, that was the 172 which provided third-person video for the event.

[Malegnius]

@Furious321, haha I know :)

[JethroDynamics]

I would do this in a flat second. but with a paraglider harness so as to be more free of all that 'stuff' he is surrounded by. Also easier to fall away and deploy a chute if need be. This is a VALID form of free flight and should be as repected as paraglidng or hang gliding. There is NO bad way to enjoy the sky!

[dxass]

my balls tingle just watching this

[fishywilleatchu]

I WANT TO DO THATTTTTTT!!!!!!!! :DDDDDD

[pokemanart101]

some lawn chair...



[nickiz1]

[Starbuckin]

EPIC! Mythbusters eat your heart out! They said it couldn't be done but I knew it could! :) Just need enough balloons...

[yahbah123]

I stopped it @ 2:33 and matched film up with google earth , it is the north end of The Salton Sea, it case you were wondering!

[timmytar]

@yahbah123 Yes! You are correct!

[mondiablue]

I feel like I'm falling watching this!

[TheStephaniekeil5]

[buzzLightyearizHigh]

[justdoteam]

[jacobbobcorn]

[XBillums]

send one of those up without a pilot so people freak out and think you fell off

[nessnes64]

if i did this is take an esky full of food and coke, my laptop (fully charged with an extra battery), a jumper and a wireless dongle so i can get internet up there :)

[exikoz]

[ajohnson]

This is nothing compared to the hill billy made rigs. The guy has a parachute, nicely built rig, gps, altitude guage, etc...

[MrHartfordHockey]

[TarProduction]

[utahminutemen]

Two words when asked if I would do it: NO WAY!

[LowCostCncRetrofits]

Nice going guys, great effort.............

Steve (Australia)

[sam91832]

this man has truly lived

[Congresista]

They have some guts coming up with this stunt, but it seems they counted on NASA tech if you compare it to Larry Walters, that guy didn't even fly in clear blue sky day and he had no platform but his garden chair.

[truck2112yes]

sweet landing

[ChathamFr0]

Holy shit.. that would be fuckin' awesome.



[PhantomSanity0]

This guy has a fucking set of brass balls. Either that or he went through a huge mid life crisis.

Imagine if he shot too many balloons, he'd have to parachute out LOL.

[le238man]

This guy has balls of steel! If it was me, I know id drop the BB gun! LOL

[ichewtoast111]

OHHH!!!!! I see what the bb guns for lol, smart.
