There was a Brazilian Priest that did the same thing with the balloons and chair ...about 15 years back....

he took off ok and was at about 8000ft when he must have realised he had forgotten his BB pistol....( it was still in his bag at launch site )

He slowly drifted out over the Atlantic Ocean never to be seen again

He was raising money for charity....

Which would have made him a little flatter as well... ( talk about a total nutter )
