[Jbro]

Damn sounded funny buy holy hell he's at over 6,000 feet and only 6... I got a 6 year old hope they get him down somehow.

[Darth Biscuit]

Can they snag it with a chopper or something? Damn that's terrible.

[pstall]

this is gut wrenching..i cant imagine what the kid and the parents are going thru

[Matt Foley]

This won't end happily.

[Humble Dew]

Are they sure the kid is in it?

[Epistaxis]

This is gonna sound mean at a time like this.......

Hey dumbass, maybe the giant Jiffypop helium balloon aircraft thingy was NOT such a good idea when you have a 6 year old kid??!!

Yeah, it is cool, and sure I'd love to make one but not anywhere near my kids.

Stupid.

I guess I have to be the first one to ask but what kind of redneck family has this in their back yard and how is it so easy to take off that a 6 year old can do it?

EDIT: Okay Epistaxis beat me to it.... Watching msnbc now and the part the boy is in is not very secure the family said.

No man, I'm with you.

Props for the fact that it works, but srsly stupid.

And yeah, I rooted for that Astronaut Farmer dbag to blow up too.

But that was just a movie.

[Johnny Rockets]

Lets hope this kid turns out to be ok. I couldn't imagine being him or his parents right now.

If this kid makes it down.....he will be doing the talk show curcuit all over the world for the next 6 months at least and be remembered for a long time just like that girl that fell down the well 20 years ago.
