Lawn Chair Pilot

Enough said.

[M1thotyn]

faaaaakkkkke!!!

[yannigirl123]

This is the story that the Priest had told us in the homily!

[BrendanIsCool]

Larry climbs into his lawn chair, waves her goodbye

Unties from the post, races towards the sky

Takes a sip out of his beer and says it looks amazing

He said it looks amazing

[ltsp4]

[ChannelingusIV]

[da1vinci1edi]

This guy has the biggest balls on the EARTH

[jamesdk09]

ii juss watched dis on "Urban Legends" History Channel...

[lisfan99]

Great find!!!!

[ford9572]

Larry probably didn't know that you need an oxygen supply over 10,000 feet, Or maybe he did, I think Larry might be the founder of cluster-ballooning, I'm not sure, Can you imagine if he'd collided with the first space shuttle when it was lifting off?? I think Ol' Larry probably might've gotten WAY more than he originally bargained for!!!

[kolin19Ytube]

He is a Darwin Award nominee .

[Birdog225]

Lawnchair Larry inspired a movie in 2003 called Danny Deckchair. It is a wonderful movie expounding the unlimited possibilities that life can offer.

[gravityhammer25]

fucking nut he killed himself too

[Unsripted]

Does anyone remember the Brazilian "balloon priest" that died at sea from doing something similar?

[jrjr18181]

yes

[DowntownCanon]

He committed suicide in 1993.

[Dorke1337]

he sold his story to disney/pixar and they made up...he is a multimillionaire now.

[TheSlopB0X]

Who's a multimillionaire now??

Not Larry, He killed himself in 1993

"a poor man may I add"

[danpascooch]

Not even CLOSE to true

[EmperorofCartoons]

@danpascooch This event actually happened, its not fake. 

[super3boy]

The Darwin award that almost happened.

[miguelin97223]

His girlfriend must have beeb really hot, you can see her holding his arm at the very end.

[CarMoves]

Geez - listen to her...

Do chicks ever shut the fuck up????

[robertmartinez]

I know. Her voice is schrill. Its hard to listen to.

Still, some women would have been screaming, "... BUT YOU NEVER PUT ME ON YOU LIFE INSURANCE !!! "

[ufoInsuranceCOM]

I would never do something like that

[robertmartinez]

98% of humanity would never do something like that.

There was a famous airline hijacker named DB COOPER who also did the unthinkable when he parachuted out the back side of a commerical jet in flight. He became famous, too. But they think he died.

[miguelin97223]

And now there's Balloon Boy: the boy who never flew in a helium balloon that couldn't lift him anyway, but only because his parents told him to sit in the attic while the press arrived.

[robertmartinez]

Well, there is a HUGE difference between two men who literally risked their lives going up to 11,000 feet or more / jumping out of the back of a plane..... and this pussy who engages in stunts to get himself on "reality" TV. ;0 he he he.

[maha77]

Larry Walters STOLE this idea from me, although my idea was to tie my lawn chair to bricks..he just slightly revised my original idea and took ALL THE CREDIT

[zipper2k8]

Sure he did.

[zdwade]

sure wacko, hes has a major network as proof. what do you have?

[hughtub]

I had a similar idea. Mine was to tie a sofa to a a pair of balls... my balls. I didn't go anywhere, and it really hurt.

[maveholic]

what a fucking dumb cunt

glad this idiot shot himself in the forest

[DszeroX]

Why? Because he did something more exciting than you'll ever do in your life?

[737angied]

This guy is legend. Can't believe they actually have footage of it . Amazing!

[DaKeybladeMasterz]

Leave the girlfriend alone! At least she was worried! At least she didn't say Good, I hope you fall into the Pacific and choke on corral reef!

[robertmartinez]

For you young males out there, this guy's girlfriend demonstrates well that females can really sound sexy and sooooooothing when they want to manipulate a man's life, but really sound horrible when they're stressed. Like a cat that has been stuffed in a pillow case.

[ilovetogofast88]

All I can say is...WOW!

RIP Larry Walters

[robertmartinez]

I agree.... he wasn't happy and ended his life via suicide.

With some folks, like some dirty convicts or excons, nobody cares. But I'm sorry to learn this guy killed himself 11 years later.

[robertmartinez]

My gut instinct tells me that he was suicidal when he went aloft in the first place. He wanted to do it & figured if he died, he died. He didn't care. But since he didn't, it took him another 11 years to do it to himself.

I do feel sorry for the guy. I wish there was more information about him to research. Like what his family had to say. They might have explained that he was always that way or that he was in early stages of cancer.

Actually, I love his quote: "A man can't just sit around."

[Will2killsum1]

I'm buying 6000 party balloons and I'm gonna do this myself.

[metalero2425]

mi idolo esto si k es libertad

[inaantok]

"Lawn chair pilot" >> LOL!

[robertmartinez]

Some people called him "Lawnchair Larry." :)

You gotta hand it to him. He did something that most of us wouldn't do and he did it not for money but just because he wanted to.

And, he did it with a good heart. Unlike the types like GreenPeace who climb tall bridges or buildings ... but half their goal is to achieve status within their ranks and to fill their own ego.

[mabajma]

are you sure he didn't do it for money?

2:06 "His first priority now, is to sell the rights to his story"

[KingJoeyMurray]

Nagging women. Is there anything they DONT try to ruin?

[edbrill]

Ain't that the truth!

[woodycoat]

Haha, Walter you get back down here now!

[BlameRepublicans]

@KingJoeyMurray Your mom doesn't ruin the BJs she gives me.

[zKATRYNz]

@KingJoeyMurray Shes just worried

[beavismorpheus]

that guys got some big balls

[machanderd]

AWESOME!!!
