Balloon kid
anyone with a calculator and a little science could have figured out the the boy wasn't on board the balloon. It probably couldn't have lifted more than 70 pounds and the balloon, basket, box, and kid would have weighed that- probably wouldn't have gotten 10 feet off the ground with the kid in it.

After myth busters tried to do the exact same thing I knew it was a hoax right off.
Anyone that has messed with an rc blimp knows how sensitve they are to trimming with weight.
Helium will lift your voice much easier than your butt

RE: Balloon kid
As i looked at the balloon in flight it. It didn't seam to move like anyone was in it at all. If it was there would be a lump of some sorts at the bottom but as you seen in the video it was flat. If anyone has played with a balloon's in some sort's of a way you would seen that also. I agree with Banzai55 about the lift and all.
