Here are a couple of photos of guy from Bend, Oregon taking a ride in his lawn chair powered by party balloons. More on this story is available from the Associated Press story: Man flying lawn chair lifted by helium balloons

Kent Couch leaves his gas station in Bend, Ore., on Saturday, July 5, 2008, riding a lawn chair rigged with more than 150 giant party balloons in an attempt to fly to Idaho. He is equipped with a BB gun and a blowgun for popping balloons if he gets too high and three 15-gallon barrels of cherry Kool-Aid for ballast to release if he gets too low. (AP Photo/Jeff Barnard)
The chair and balloons look like they are one heck of a contraption and a lot of fun.
