In this episode, we spin the tale of Daniel Boria, Calgary’s self-styled “balloonatic.” Seeking promo gold for his cleaning business, he strapped over 100 helium balloons to a lawn chair, then soared above the Stampede grounds like something out of Up. His plan to parachute in fell apart fast, high winds blew him far off target and toward airport airspace. He reached an astonishing 14,000 feet before being arrested for “dangerous operation of an aircraft” and other infractions. A judge called the stunt “unconscionably stupid,” yet Boria shrugged it off, bragging that it would be “the greatest story to tell for the rest of my life”
