Me, I wouldn't try anything like this. The thought would make me pee my pants. Lawn-chair balloonist drifts from Oregon to Idaho. # Kent Couch in third bid to fly from central Oregon to Idaho by lawn chair
Gas station owner travels at 20 mph; each balloon gives 4 pounds of lift
Couch pops balloons to control height with a BB gun, steel dart blow gun
Wife says: "It's never been a dull moment since I married him
Would you ever pull a stunt like this? Do you know anyone who would?

That is nuts! What if he popped too many balloons because his aim was off? Aye Que Caramba! Well, at least he got his story covered by CNN.

That is absolutely crazy as you said and in no way would I try it. Knowing my luck all the ballons would pop and I would die. He is surely brave indeed.

Let's just say I wouldn't want to be up there and have a bird with a sharp beak land on my balloons? LOL!
Why do people insist on tkaing such DUMB risks?
