He must have used something other than party balloons. On Mythbusters, it took several thousands of balloons just to lift a small girl off the ground. Never mind flight. Jaime and Adam used weather ballons to lift Adam, and that didn't look all that safe.

That's an understatement, LOL, who the hell would want to do this? You'd have to be wacked to try this, IMO.

He'll be carried off to heaven. I hope he is rescued. The wind can pick up in seconds and they should of took that into consideration and tied him down with a long rope or something.

They could not put a rope on him...

Then he would be the pope on a rope... grin2.gif ( sort of like soap on a rope )

Maybe he pissed god off and now he is going to get even. LOL

With stories like this you kind of expect it to be a silly ending, that he was found in a tree waiting to be rescued, but it looks pretty grim for the priest.

Priest or not though, it's a pretty stupid thing to do.

Haha, this is entertainment. *Sits down and grabs some popcorn* But really? I believe they should have put some form of tracker on him....

I thought he had a GPS on him?

Any way they just announced they called off the search.
