Make Your Own Cluster Balloon

Posted by michael on from the we-disclaim-all-responsibility dept.

Mr. Christmas Lights writes "'Have you ever dreamed of being carried into the sky by a giant bouquet of colorful toy balloons?' John Ninomiya does exactly that using 50-150 four-seven foot diameter balloons filled with helium ... and sealed with tape (duct?) and cable ties. Folks may recall the lawn chair man who floated up to 16,000 feet, but John takes this to a whole new level and his site has some wild pictures ... and includes the comment 'Kids, don't try this at home!'"

    Only old people float to 16,000 feet in lawnchairs!

    Stupid jokes aside, who else thinks that's freaking INSANE? Poor guy. I can't imagine what i would do if suddenly i was 16,000 feet high in a freaking LAWN CHAIR
