Bummer Art

French skydiver, Michel Fournier hoped to break four world records by jumping out of a balloon 25 miles up over Saskatchewan, western Canada. Mr. Fournier (age 64) had his tested pressurized suit, his tested pressurized balloon cabin, a huge 150 foot balloon, filled with helium already to launch this morning. But something went terribly wrong.

Don't worry Michel is fine. But .. well ... someone forgot to tether to the balloon and it .. well few away. And when I say "away", I mean far far far away. So, loyal citizens of the Mighty Kmuzu, if a very large frickin' balloon should land on your house, you know exactly where it came from.

If you would like to see the video of the poor guy's balloon flying away, the BBC has done are great story on it, "Jump Record Fails to Take Flight"
