Wasn't there a thread earlier that said you need like 100,000 balloons to lift a person into the sky?


Well, that was assuming each balloon was one of those tiny helium-filled ones.

if they are I'd imagine you'd be able to get some serious lift if you held onto both ends of the arch. It might even lift you off the ground..
have you ever tried?

From http://www.cockeyed.com/science/helium/helium.shtml

A typical helium-filled balloon on a ribbon can lift 4.8 grams.


How many balloons would be required to lift even a 50 kg person (light person)?

4.8 g = 0.0048 kg

50 kg / 0.0048 kg/balloon = 10,416 balloons

I estimate barely 150 balloons in the picture.

No one in the balloon when it lands. Either he fell out, or the brother was pranking and the kid was never in it. Hopefully it's the latter of course =/
