I bet his 2 brothers put him up to it. THey had the camera out and everything.... very sad if he fell out somewhere along the way.......
I'd be checking that video to verify he actually did leave the ground on the balloon.....

I remember I got my brother to jump off the garage roof with a sheet parachute... didn't get hurt besides a twisted ankle.
Unfortunately, that kid would have either shown up by now, or he fell out somewhere over the 50 miles the balloon traveled.
