Balloon Boy gets 193 Miles in Lawn Chair
Last weekend, Kent Couch settled down in his lawn chair with some snacks -- and a parachute. Attached to his lawn chair were 105 large helium balloons.
Couch, on his way to Idaho, carried a global positioning system device, a two-way radio and a cell phone. He also had instruments to measure his altitude and speed and about four plastic bags holding five gallons of water each to act as a ballast, he could turn a spigot, release water and rise.
No discussion of stopping for a potty break along the way....
