QuoteThe lawn chair pilot, who says he's a skydiver, intended to parachute himself into the Calgary Stampede. But the weather didn't co-operate and he missed the grounds, landing uninjured a few kilometres away in an industrial field. However, the chair and the balloons are still somewhere up in the air.

Let's see some old fart try and lift his house off the ground with a few thousand balloons... Now THAT will be outstanding.

CanuckInUSA 0 #4 July 6, 2015 Extremely dumb stunt. Who does he think he is Danny Deckchair? Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fastphil 0 #5 July 6, 2015 I had plans to do that once, with a buddy; we were going to strap two lawn chairs together. We instead discovered some formations nearby (towers) that could be climbed and offered a free fall opportunity and went that way instead. BASE took off and we never got back to our lawn chair jump. I know, just another lawn chair whuffo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
