I thought from the start that the balloon didn’t seem large enough to lift the mass of a six-year-old child.
Agreed. Thing is, I couldn’t tell how large the balloon was (or how much helium it could contain) as it was sailing over Colorado. If it was large enough, I suppose it could support the weight of a 6-year-old boy. It sure did look awesome, though, flying through the sky.
