I just read some of the other posts on this thread which in turn caused me to look up a couple of other cases.

There are at least two people who have exceeded 15,000 feet altitude by strapping helium balloons to their lawn chairs.

Hmmmmm... Let’s see now...

Homemade rocket?

Lawn chair with balloons?

I’ll take Lawn Chair for the win Alex!

As chance would have it, I was listening to Led Zeppelin while driving home from work and just before I read this thread. Rocket man may soon find, as did Icarus, that it is inadvisable to test the gods.
