This was what first popped into my head.




Pales in comparison to the legend Lawnchair Larry.

"On July 2, 1982, Larry Walters (April 19, 1949 – October 6, 1993) made a 45-minute flight in a homemade airship made of an ordinary patio chair and 45 helium-filled weather balloons. The lawnchair rose to an altitude of over 15,000 feet. Walters attached 43 of the balloons to his lawn chair, filled them with helium, put on a parachute, and strapped himself into the chair in the backyard of a home at 1633 West 7th Street in San Pedro. He took his pellet gun, a CB radio, sandwiches, beer, and a camera. "

King of the Hill parodied this



Arrested Development also has a version of this with George Sr. trying to escape house arrest by floating off the apartment balcony in a balloon chair, but the Internet failed me in providing video :mad:
