New Sport: ClusterBalloning (pic)... Why people? WHY?

As far as i can tell, these folks go up, and their only way to descend is to burst
a ballon! shocked
One guy says his record is 21,000 ft...
WTF???

Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

Maybe that's part of the thrill of it. It looks like an exciting thing to do. Granted, it would be funny if a bunch of birds flew past and popped the balloons as unlucky7 says, but imagine soaring up and up! I can imagine it is a fantastic and wondrous experience.

I would suck at this sport, I would be sucking all the helium out of the balloons and laughing at how funny I sound while slowly plumiting to my death!

Dude, i'm not a thrill seeker by nature, so this looks absolutely CRAZY to me...

I see your point though, and sometimes i feel a little envious of extreme sportists,
but it's not me...I like my feet firmly planted on something. lol

like that sport where people jump off cliffs and when they're half way down they pull out their parachute, and if it doesn't work you know your going to die.

i heard of this one guy who did that, and he brought a bb gun with him to pop the balloons. but the idiot used weather balloons, and the bb's wouldn't break 'em. then, of course with no way to steer, he drifted into air space over an airport. they called the cops, and they got out there and followed him till he drifted over the ocean, then their sharpshooter popped all his balloons, and splash! into the ocean he went.

he got arrested. maybe it was for stupidity.
