So what happens when you have a space craft of some type, like a ufo, and a little compartment big enough to let a kid stay inside? Well, it’s obvious, your 6 year old son is going to take a trip across the universe, and probably fall out of the dang aircraft and hit the ground. I kind of wish I had an aircraft like this, but that’s because I don’t have any kids to worry about.
The helium balloon was tethered to the boy’s family home in Fort Collins, the Larimer County Sheriff’s Department said. The boy got into the craft Thursday morning and undid the rope anchoring it.
Margie Martinez of the Weld County Sheriff’s Office said a sibling saw the boy climb into the basket before the balloon took off. Since the door on the balloon was unlocked, Martinez said it’s possible the boy had fallen out.“The structure at the bottom of the balloon that the boy is in is made of extremely thin plywood and won’t withstand any kind of a crash at all,” said Erik Nilsson, Larimer County emergency manager, according to CNN affiliate KMGH.
