‘Ol Larry Walters did it back in the 1980s and got up to 16,000 feet, much to the surprise of the airline pilots who saw him bobbing around near LAX.

More incredible was his method of returning to ground. He had a BB Gun and popped a few balloons and descended to the ground. If it was me, I would have had a parachute.

This was Larry Walter’s rig:

“lawn chair, pellet gun, a CB radio, sandwiches, beer, and a camera.”
