Oh. My. Gawd.

As a private pilot, I have to say this guy had a lot of courage.

This Guy (http://www.clusterballoon.org/) files Cluster Balloons pretty regularly. He straps into them rather than using a lawn chair, and is able to make safe landings on foot. Pretty cool!

Thanks for that amazing link. I thought for the longest time that the whole lawn-chair ballooning thing was an urban legend (even before I knew the term) and have been fascinated with the concept ever since.

Wow.

It's scary to think there's an accepted term for it.

Hey, what happened to my post? I remarked upon the scariness attendant to the existance of a phrase such as "lawn chair ballooning."
