Job Interviewer: I see you have a criminal record. Can you tell us about it and why we can feel safe hiring you?
Job Candidate: I was convicted of mischief for flying around in a lawn chair tied to balloons.
Job Interviewer: You're hired.

Larry Walters of Los Angeles is one of the few to contend for the Darwin Awards and live to tell about his exploits.

Really nice guy. I was really sad when I found out later he committed suicide.

I worked at Filmfare In L.A. a now defunct commercial production house.

Larry worked there.

A guy by the name of Will Day was the production manager and had this wonderful photo album made after Larry died.

I wasn't there they day he took his flight, but several people, including Will Day were. Photos of the take off and all the bizarre crap that happened on lift off and was there when Larry landed. He and a few folks followed Larry, in their cars, as best as they could, but ultimately located him via the police band.
they took photos of the backyard he landed in.

Hey "authorities"...go bust some real criminals (banksters / politicians) and crooks (banksters / politicians).

He should have landed by popping enough balloons. Seriously, what if the balloons and chair ended up in the flight path of a commercial airplane after he parachuted?...
