Hm, na Darwin site (www.darwinawards.com), eto istorija pojavljaetsja v 1982 godu, vysota pod'jema byla 16000 futov, i vertoletnogo spasanija ne bylo - geroj otstrelil taki neskol'ko sharov i spustilsja.
Larry's efforts won him a $1,500 FAA fine, a prize from the Bonehead Club of Dallas, the altitude record for gas-filled clustered balloons, and a Darwin Awards Honorable Mention. He gave his aluminum lawnchair to admiring neighborhood children, abandoned his truck-driving job, and went on the lecture circuit. He enjoyed intermittent demand as a motivational speaker, but said he never made much money from his innovative flight. He never married and had no children. Larry hiked into the forest and shot himself in the heart on October 6, 1993. He died at the age of 44.
