I wonder if this guy has major sack or if he's just stupid. Kind of a urban myth come to life.

Major sack because he pulled it off. In fact I'm surprized he got his balls aloft. Now if the news report was about him injuring or killing himself trying, I would say stupid.

"Walters surprised an airline pilot, who radioed the control tower that he had just passed a guy in a lawn chair with a gun."

I wonder if the pilot thought it was a simple minded sky jacker?
I'd like to hear the tape of that conversation.

He's just copying what Lawn Chair Larry did years ago.

That's too damn funny.

He took off at 6:06 a.m. Saturday after kissing his wife, Susan, goodbye and petting his Chihuahua, Isabella.

"See you in Idaho!" he said.

Lawn chair Larry killed himself 10 years later.. true story

Seems he could have pulled all kinds of mindless stunts during that time span with that mind set.

I've been trying to kill myself for 42 years now. Just my luck I'm to tough to kill. All this tells me is I'll eventually be successful.

Oh man that sounds like fun. If I had the funds, and the engineering knowledge I'd totally do it. I'd want to be released from a boat though. Maybe like 75 miles out to sea. And I'd want a heavy trolling rod, and some tuna trolling feathers. Troll for albies from like 500 feet up.

Dude I'm with ya there. Some of us are tougher to kill than others. However I'm starting to think I'm unkillable.
