Because their are problems at the airports at the moment, don't you think your taking things a bit drastic lol

I think there was a man that did it in with Helium balloons in america recently. I think he died.

if the ballons popped and you fell do you think your scream would be higher pitched?

It would depend on the size of the balloons, the weight of the man, and what gas the ballons were filled with.

Asked before... you'll have to do a little of the math appropriate to the weight of the individual... C'mon... you can do it (the math, that is).

Oooo I like the look of that Naz!

If my GCSE maths serves me correct, it'd take roughly 4,529 normal party balloons to lift me personally. :D
