A Calgary man flew over the city on Sunday, risking his life to draw attention to his cleaning-products company, and also landing him in trouble with police. Daniel Boria pulled off the potentially deadly stunt by attaching about 110 helium balloons to a lawn chair. "A green plastic lawn chair that we purchased for about $10 at the local Walmart, I believe," said his friend, Conner Shauf.
Boria, 26, was detained Sunday evening and released Monday morning. He has been charged with one count of mischief causing danger to life. The lawn chair pilot, who says he's a skydiver, intended to parachute himself into the Calgary Stampede. But the weather didn't cooperate and he missed the grounds, landing uninjured a few kilometers away in an industrial field in the city's southeast.
However, the chair and the balloons are still somewhere up in the air.
