skyrider 0 #27 October 15, 2009 Quote Quote My parents didn't have potentially dangerous shit in the backyard. Awww, poor kid. Playing with dangerous shit as a kid is a right of passage. When I was 6 I was building machetes out of rusty lawn mower blades and hacking my way through 6ft milk weed on my parent's farm. That and playing with my sister's huge ass horse that pretty much just had to accidentally step on me to take me out. Hell, we had a bed of nails in our back yard, (never really understood why) but boys being boys, we had a contest jumping over it bare foot, when It was my turn, my couson thought it would be funny to trip me...Yep. Impald by 6 nails threw my foot, then got my ass royally whipped when I got out of the hospital! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

headoverheels 333 #46 October 16, 2009 That balloon isn't large enough to lift a 6 year old child. I expect that the builder knew that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtval 0 #47 October 16, 2009 We were on our way back from tx when we saw this. it was freaky to think there may have been a kid in there. the Altitude confusion was the fact they they were speaking in MSL. Supposedly, the thing never got above 2000ft AGL. (7500 ft msl)My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
