Famous practitioners of cluster ballooning, a form of ballooning where a harness attaches a balloonist to a cluster of helium-inflated rubber balloons, included Larry Walters who attached 42 helium-filled weather balloons to a lawn chair and lifted off in 1982 then rose quickly to nearly 3 miles which resulted in charges being filed against him by the FAA.
