How long before someone links a hundred of these together and goes for a ride....?
Reminds me just a little of “Lawn Chair Larry”, who hooked 45 weather balloons to a lawn chair and floated up up up up....to an altitude of 16,000. From the Wikipedia article:
“He took his pellet gun, a CB radio, sandwiches, beer, and a camera.”

Aw, poor guy committed suicide at 44... knew about hi but didn’t know that.
Cant recall where I saw this, but I did see a guy with maybe 16 drones attached to a frame and linked. He sat underneath the frame in some sort of seating arrangement attached to the frame. The whole operation lifted him into the air.
There is a company that builds drones that can lift 320 pounds and go 90 miles an hour. They rent these to snowboarders.
