That's what worries me about this story - sure, this particular kid didn't die horribly, but what about all the other kids that are now going to think it's safe to get into a weather balloon and go sky-riding? "Gee, that kid in Colorado ended up fine, so c'mon Billy, saddle up this bad boy and let's go BALLOONING!"
