Published on 07/08/2015
A Calgary man used helium filled balloons to fly over the city on Sunday, risking his life to draw attention to his cleaning products company, and also landing him in trouble with the law. Daniel Boria pulled off the potentially deadly stunt by attaching about 110 balloons to a lawn chair.
Boria, 26, was detained Sunday evening and released Monday morning. He has been charged with one count of mischief causing danger to life. The lawn chair pilot, who said he's a skydiver, intended to parachute himself into the Calgary Stampede. He said the stunt cost him about $20,000, including hiring an airplane to circle the Stampede grounds with a banner advertising his company.
