A guy in South Africa just took Disney’s ‘Up’ a little too seriously by reaching 8,000ft while strapped to a camping chair and helium balloons!
A British adventurer has flown 25km (15.5 miles) across South Africa suspended from 100 helium balloons.
Tom Morgan, from Bristol, reached heights of 8,000ft (2,438m) while strapped to a camping chair, in scenes reminiscent of the Pixar smash Up.
The 38-year-old spent two days inflating balloons ahead of the flight, which he described as “magical”. The challenge moved to South Africa on Friday after several failed attempts in Botswana.
“The problem was finding a good weather window and it was difficult to protect the balloons as they kept bursting,” Mr Morgan said.
With just enough helium left for one more attempt, the adventurer and his team moved their base to just north of Johannesburg.
Following his successful voyage, Morgan told BBC News he soon hopes to create a helium balloon race competition in Africa.
