Lifting a Human Being in the Air using Helium Party Balloons

[dannyan10]

That's really bad for the environment!

[treverbettis]

stupid sheep

[AdjoaBabe]

imagine if the ropes broke and they let the person go... ROFL!!!

[KevxMeister]

dont light a match!

[VikingDude81]

Double Yellow Rainbow.

[Meanmotherrucker]

During the popping frenzy, I was waiting for someone to yell, "My eye!!!"

[charlieelephant]

How many balloons was it?

[OMandii]

did you enjoy cleaning it up?

[leparditas]

better inhale

[sepp1992st]

super!

[charlieelephant]

Hey do you know where to get balloons that big? I need Balloons just like that for a movie I'm doing that would be great!

Thanks

[HarleyStcool]

the host sucks ass

[Edwardo1993]

So wait you said at the start of the video you asked yourself how many balloons would it take to lift a human off the ground, and it even says it in the description of the video and then you say that that wasn't the point of the task? To be honest with you i think it was alot of wasted time just to get somebody about 10 foot off the ground, i thought you was going to get him higher.

[wilbathke]

look for "padre adelir" at google and you will find out how many ballons are needed... or not hehe

[panda100123]

tape 3/4 the balloons and it would be like your on the moon

[fatanasov]

did he flew???

[KiranGlitch]

it would take 6000 helium-filled balloons to lift a 30kg child

[Superphilipp]

This is fucking cool.

[sciencething0101]

get a air soft gun =D

[kelltiozim]

These people are why this country is in ruins. All of the people that popped the balloons and they didn't even count them but what a waste of helium RETARDS. They shoulda been fined $20 for every wasted balloon.

[maccafan10]

kelltiozim. I agree, the President and Congress should stop blowing up balloons and popping them and get on with some serious work.

[ProjektPete]

lol

[maplemanz]

WHY NOT TRY FART GAS??

[DrFooMod2]

Methane doesn't have the required lift.

[Jakeshark]

FUCK YEAH!

[hyperbully]

I hate Florida.

[yumsalad]

tennnnnnn??? onee hundreeeddddddd

[firechimp1]

wow... u didnt tell us how many. plus y wuld we think it was 10 balloons????????

[fuzziewinkle]

loolol

[BlackHawk0800]

i would of at least got above tree line...i wanna do that but go way way up with my butterfly knife, and when i get to high ill just start popin

[erikitaarg]

dudeeee u r such a dum ass!!!! the one that is talking in the video.. how homo u seam to be... how can u make a whole fucking video of 7:14 min saying u were wondering how many balloons u need to lift a person... so u made this video.... and after all this f... time u make me loose ,thinking i will know the answer.... u just finish saying that wasnt the point!! how gay of you!! ur video suck... thanks...

[moniqkam]

Cool, but the voice-over is lame ._.

[ProjektPete]

what a sweet video!! jimmycar you are the man...! i wish i could've been there just so i could burst some of those huge balloons...looks like it was a lot of fun =P

[BatmanProject777]

On second thought, instead of popping away all the funds so quickly, could you have sold rides ? Tether someone in on a harness, strap em in to a inflatable 'sumo' suit....gotta be some way to let a bunch of people who came out go for a tiny ride.

[BatmanProject777]

Isn't helium flammable ? That'd be a fun way to get rid of em...wait til dark, set em on fire, and release a bon fire into the night sky ! Yahoo

[sketchbookies]

hydrogen is flammable, helium isnt

[rolandsquare]

Hydrogen is flammable, helium is inert.

[malogames]

I calculated that you would need 10 000 small comercial balloons to lift a small person...

I thought it would be just imposible but with big balloons it's actualy doable... great job guys

[eddieco95]

i feels sorry for the cleaner

[tobyoho]

should have released the balloons! would have been amazing

[jimmycar]

I wish we could have, but you get in a lot of trouble with the FAA if you release large objects into the air. Some little thing about making planes crash...

[tobyoho]

what about if youd done them all seperately?

[bearamy9]

balloons which are let into the air tend to end up in the ocean eventually and giant turtles try eating them and die...so no, throwing them up in any number is careless... please attempt to loose your ignorance :)

[tobyoho]

ok so exactly how many giant turtles have actually died from eating old helium balloons? lose my ignorance? excuse me? how rude and unnecessary.

[Lowblowmannen]

yeah and they just seem to leave it there...hope not though

[Avierockie]

Yeah.. I'd inhale it!!! XD Not all of it..

[Lowblowmannen]

haha you would get pretty high then

[Avierockie]

Oh yeah!! You'd probably pass out for hours... You could pass out from like 4 normal sized balloons..

[sierrakilo1232]

at least they get up off their ass and doin something while all u do is waste ur time critiscizing people sanjay26890

[CzechDetectingTours]

Well, I thought it was dope. I powerparaglide, you haters just have never seen your little world from the air.

[bloominglove27]

What a waist of helium... I'd make my voice squeaky with all that helium...

[1949outboard]

they should have let the balloons go

[youlovemesomuch]

what was the fucking point

[fresitapuffy]

she didnt fly

[fspilot92]

That was cool but she barely left the ground.

[gcchick890]

thats such a waste of helium...y pop it

sucking is way more fun

[hellshoe12]

i didn't like it someone one should've been in the background hiding shooting the balloons one by one with like a bb gun

while he was still flying

[pabnv1993]

Someone should have cut the ropes.

[lesliegaea]

I hate liberals.

[FHSVideoMaker]

It wasn't "lame" or "gay, they actually did it, Mythbuster's didn't neither did the back flip jean guy. These guys actually did it and if they did let the guy go it would have been REALLY BAD, it was good. 5/5.

[MMProductions88]

annoying soundtrack.

[metalman543]

what he said right below me

[Aldrex459]

Wow I thought the person would go like 50 feet in the air but guess not what a waste of time.

[racr444]

Gee, then we wonder why there's a worldwide helium shortage!

[Psalm23YHVH]

Very dumb, they should ditch the helmit and let him fly freely in the air without all those cables attached, after all that they didnt even count the balloons? wtfm? just fly high in the sky, why are people so scared and being like babies wraped in cotton woll all the time

[Skyline559]

gay

[gregor0227]

shit

[SnakeDr007]

How much funding did it take for those balloons?

[TeamSlathalin]

A waste of 50,000 dollars

[roadruner2008]

CRAPPPPPPPPP!

you owe me 7:14s of my life

[beadmaster]

boring... karl pilkington rockz

[MuhammadChrist]

Hahaha. Ya that's why I watched this too!!

[maddzzz]

...

[akulkis]

rated 1 star because I couldn't go any lower.

See: how to take a cool idea, and then execute it in the most boring, uninteresting way possible.

[akulkis]

Do not try this on your own.

Yeah...because if you do, you might just demonstrate that the people at HumanBeingCurious are a bunch of retarded kill-joys.

You know, like, bothering to count the balloons, or picking someone with para-sail skills who can fly free, cut the balloons, and

parachute back to earth, rather than being held down with cables...which is interesting for all of oh..I don't know..2...maybe even THREE seconds?

[akulkis]

You ask.."how many helium balloons does it take to lift a person?" and then you don't even bother to keep a count?

Why pop all the balloons at the end instead of just letting them go.

The people involved with this stunt are idiots.

[BowlingFreak218]

wow look how high they are .not

[BowlingFreak218]

wow look how high they are .not

[UKmatt89]

What load of crap, I was expecting him to actually gain a lot of height, thats what I'm ganna do one day, fly as high as I can, then cut the balloons away and parachute or skydive down.

[jumpyfroglegs]

Well, the guy said, "Have you ever wondered how many balloons, it would take?" Still I am wondering. I think this guy has more time and money than he knows what to do with. A waste of helium.

[jasonunderwood82]

i took the time to count 520 baloonz xD

[oct0ber1]

wow..they didnt count the balloons but they were like..."how many dose it take?" waste of time?

[gibiskinder]

Such a waste of time !!!

[csigirl12]

They should of just let her go hehe! oh btw that guys voice sounds like grissom off csi las vegas! XD

[holypaper]

I waited until the very end of this vid, only to find out they didn't count the balloons. Neat.

[subguy3]

Why did you have to pop them all? It would have been more impressive if you would have turned them loose.

Also, I think they need a couple more cables to control him. lol

Anyway, I think he's ready for the next Macy's parade!

[skippy10101010]

mythbusters baby, mythbysters....

[SkiFantic]

it is real i saw a live performance

[derdeder21]

I wasted 7 minutes watching that. They should have grown some balls and let him fly freely.

[MrpotatoChips]

Sometimes "Growing Balls" As you Call it Is Stupid, Dangerous And Reckless In Some Situatioons.

[MCRroni]

well when yur trying to entertain sometimes u need some danger

[MrpotatoChips]

True But they're Not Stunt People.

[MCRroni]

true

[bsol07]

wow he got 5 feet off the ground amazing

[spuddeer60606]

what a waste of balloons

[sn1zzo]

My God!!! I've watched this for 2 MINUTES AND NOTHING HAPPENED YET!!!! ... Just watch the one with the guy in Idaho that did it. Its better, its only 30 seconds, and the guy actually gets higher than somebody can JUMP.

[TheSuicideHoliday]

fucking ADD kid....

[sn1zzo]

What are you, Some kind of Idiot? They make this WHOLE Big deal out of lifting a guy 10 feet in the air. Why watch this, when you can watch some people lift a guy an impressive height in the air and fly across the state? This is basically like watching someone make a sandwhich.

[TheSuicideHoliday]

what is the link to the guy who flies across the state???? watching someone making a sandwich isn't so bad either if you are hungry...just like watching porn if you are horny!

[sn1zzo]

Type in these key words. (man idaho balloons funny fly) He goes 13 THOUSAND feet in the air. If it wasnt for him then I would have been impressed by this video... Now I think Im going to go Make myself a Sandwhich while watching Porn... Or make a Porn while watching a Sandwhich... or something like that.

[dopeasscracka]

thats prob the most boring way you could have documented it.

[Wizerman]

wat !?!?!! that's it ??? only that... god i was thinking he was going to fly longer ! god.. yeah.. a real waste

[burachenko]

i too

[theint]

what a waste

[Patiriktirik]

someone should of got a lighter wen they were popping them hahahahha

[JazBassBird]

Why? Helium isnt flamable. It wouldn't have done anything.

[samburger]

i believe you're confusing helium & hydrogen.

[z3ekeezzz]

Lol anyone got a nail gun?

[SRB2Pheonix]

BGUN NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

[crusher540]

i would have shot the balloons :D

[tobonomy]

i enjoyed it

[pauld115]

wow i would have more fun just popping the balloons

[swr410]

alright, laughing as a camera man is terrible film-making. and i kept hoping someone would get stabbed by a pair of scissors during the balloon popping madness.

[hrisy96]

I wasted 7:14 minutes of my life

[crusher540]

same here ive seen it happen on myhtbusters but at least they made it more interesting and funny

[patsyherring]

you could have at least counted the balloons, made the person go all the way in the air without holding the person down with ropes...who cares if they fly away, it'd be funnier!!

and the commentary, wasn't necessary.

[Batou667]

Well, that was a distinctly fun-free 7 minutes of my life.

Why didn't they use hydrogen? It's more buoyant, plus it's a renewable gas. Just make sure nobody smokes, it'll be fine...

[joshtrevellin]

Thats awesome

[maidavale3039]

That was a very boring few minutes of my life you could have told the whole story in one minute flat instead of making it into a mini Hollywood epic ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!­!

[cl4ymati0n]

waste of balloons

[Tb9817]

light them on fire

[Willettes1]

it takes 3500 2 lift a 4 year old lol

[YourBallZsTINKS]

not that one fat 4 year old in MAURY that weights more than 650 Kilos its gonna take more baloons than that to lift her up

[ejrchapman]

Nothing new, been done before.

[DNSF1]

YOU KILLED BALLONS! thats so bad

[Hallscottf]

Try making a big garbage bag solar balloon next time. The sun and hot air are free of charge.

[mattpk23]

Try it out for yourself, buy some at bubbleXL com, the balloons here are much bigger!

[happyhead7]

balloom murderers!

[crazylilcrip]

waste of balloons!!

[elfae7wicca7ff]

I want also flyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[zarahfire63]

they didnt need allthoes ballons,

[renrutus]

With the price of petrol is going, is this the future of air travel?? btw somepeople have way too much time on their hands

[simple11q]

It would have been more entertaining if the unsuspecting victims just were released into 'space'.

Also were are the explosions and hippies?!

[cruddiestcrudever]

And the helium was reduced to a mere 3 mile cloud

[halvoro]

i really liked this. =) im gonna check out that site.

way2go

[dilpoppa]

these people must not have any lives.

seroilsly........there 20-40 years old, wtf.

[mutatedfrog]

Mythbusters did this o_O

[crocleco]

lol all the poped balloons looks like my sisters rom

[JayTill]

This si redicelous :P

[TheBalloonProject]

1 party balloon holds 14 liters and can lift 14 grams. so to lift an adult of 150 pounds (68,000 grams) you would need 4,857 balloons.

[Oldfashionedloverboy]

hey you sound just like Matthew Broderick.

[rockerchik918]

way to not even say how many balloons it took jerkoff

[combat21bravo]

exactly!

[WUTANG826]

boooooooooooooooo

[dmxsoulofaman]

fuck they should of let go of the strings

[Irockman1]

Wow. Very interesting.

[aiton]

Now I understand S11

[TiePilot501]

Why does it take 7 minutes and 14 seconds to show someone being lifted away by balloons?

[aiton]

Because camera was so excited to record this shit he wanted to waste a whole tape. XD

[extraslice]

What a cop out, I'll only watched your crappy video because it explained to me on google that the answer to my question was here, 7 mins 14 seconds later i was still no of the wiser! You need to change your google title to 'Here's 7 minutes of wasted video to a question never answered!' Thanks for nothing.

Yanks Pah!

[babyfacejim]

soooooooooooooo boring waste of life

[ajmssc]

boring

[INeedScissors61]

How many balloons would it take to lift an 80 lb midget off the ground? Just curious.

[NeoLOVix]

interesting

[JAWVA]

far out!
