But if you fly too cheeseparing to the sun , sometimes you get burned : After he landed , Boriawas arrestedon a charge of mischief .

Other brave somebody have seek balloon flights , dating back to ballooner Jean Piccard , who wed latex atmospheric condition balloons to a little basket and pass away for a drive way back in 1937 . Boria ’s flight is especially redolent of the solo jaunt of “ Lawnchair Larry ” Walters , whoattached 42 He conditions balloons to a Sears lawnchairand went for a California cheer joyride in 1982 , withdraw a shot throttle with him to shoot down the balloons when he wanted to descend . Walters made it all the mode up to 16,000 feet before coming down ( where he was also arrested ) . The world record for DIY lawnchair ballooning is 18,400 feet , and there ’s even beena lawn chair cluster balloon race , so this is n’t all unprecedented . But it is splendid .

Boria ’s stunt concur with the Calgary Stampede , the city ’s annual rodeo event , which draw over a million tourists . Sanctioned event include sura - roping ( strangling baby cows ) , and guide grappling ( literally human wrestling with Taurus , often until severe injury ) .

The yearly celebration of frontiersman derring do and dominance over the animal world is far more violent than one man ’s solo escapade through the clouds . Boria ’s stunt recalls Philippe Petit’stightrope walk across the Twin Towers , except Boria actually take more safe precautions than Petit . He bring an oxygen tank to nullify lose consciousness , as well as a parachute , which he ended up using to land in a field .

It ’s not exonerated exactly how much helium Boria used , but since 1 three-dimensional substructure of He lift around 0.067 pound sign , a conservative idea is at least 2000 cubic foot for an 150 Irish punt adult male . Hespent around$20,000 on the stunt , but has zero regret .

“ you may spend the same marketing dollars on a hoarding or a commercial or you may fly a balloon up in the melodic phrase and jump out , ” Boriatoldthe CBC . “ It just seems like more fun , right ? ”

Emphasis mine ! It seems infinitely more merriment to huck off the confining bond of gravity and human limitation and “ laws ” and soar , soar , hang glide through the airwave like a razzing of fair game , gentle yet furious , untethered and whimsical , trying in your way to be destitute .
