When Daniel Boria planned a daring stunt to advertise his cleaning products business, no one thought he’d actually pull it off.


But over the weekend, he attached 110 helium balloons to a lawn chair and took to the skies in Calgary, Alberta.

It looked like a scene out of a movie. As his friends cut the rope that was holding the lawn chair down, Boria took off flying.

Boria, who is a skydiver, intended to parachute himself into the Calgary Stampede, but it didn’t go exactly as planned because of the strong winds that afternoon. He eventually had to parachute into a field about a mile away from his target.


But Boria didn’t have any regrets.

“It was the most fun thing I’ve ever done,” Boria told the Calgary Sun on Monday.

His stunt didn’t go unnoticed. In fact, people around town snapped photos of Boria’s lawn chair and shared them on social media.

“Just saw this floating through the skies of Calgary. Hope it’s not a stampede #balloon vendor out of control,” Tom Warne wrote on Twitter.

The lawn chair and balloons are still floating somewhere in the sky.

“We’re in the midst of tracking that down,” said Boria’s friend Conner Shauf.
