>I remember that one. The guy actually had a pretty clever plan for lifting himself (in a lawn chair!) like a hot air balloon. But he miscalculated the amount of helium and the strategy for dropping back down, and wound up at several thousand feet. I don't remember how he got back to earth, other than that he did.
I don't think that would be a problem, except for the rate of descent. ;)
