Il pioniere di queste robe č Larry Walters, camionista decollato sulla sua sedia da giardino nel 1986; č finito in un corridoio aereo nei pressi di un aeroporto, č stato poi arrestato:
Regional safety inspector Neal Savoy was reported to have said, "We know he broke some part of the Federal Aviation Act, and as soon as we decide which part it is, some type of charge will be filed. If he had a pilot's license, we'd suspend that. But he doesn't."
Ma il migliore resta Adelir Antonio de Carli:
he flew using a chair suspended under 1,000 party balloons, reaching an altitude of 20,000 feet (6,100 m). Not having checked the weather forecast, he got caught in a storm. He had a GPS but did not know how to operate it. He was last heard on the radio eight hours after liftoff approaching the water after flying off the coast, unable to give his position, and crashed in the Atlantic Ocean; his body was found by the Brazilian Navy near an offshore oil platform on July 4, 2008. The act won him a 2008 Darwin Award.

Pare che questa roba sia considerata uno sport estremo, detto "cluster ballooning"
