Despite the downbeat ending I find it inspirational: chase that
dream...

They made a movie in Australia about a guy doing the same thing. It would
never win an Academy award or anything but it was a real fun movie, about a
guy just chasing a dream.
It is called Danny's Deckchair, and if you are really inspired by what Larry
Walters did then you would love this movie, although you might not get some
of the Aussie lingo.

Its funny, the TV show "Myth Busters" tried this one and found that it
did not work, they decided it must be a myth. Later they found out it
was real. Odd that these guys couldn't figure out how to get the lift
required of the ballons.
