From the Sun...

Dan Boria on Sunday launched underneath a canopy of balloons from a park in northeast Calgary, hoping to parachute onto Stampede Park.

"The winds were pretty fierce up there, no doubt ... the winds were so strong, it pushed me back," said Boria, who sounded excited.

"I jumped out of the chair and landed about a mile away the grounds.

"I can't specify the altitude I went to."

Boria had just been released from police custody after being charged with mischief when he spoke to the Sun.

The stunt went airborne to promote a cleaning company, with the balloon-lawnchair contraption flying its banner.
