It’s not as impressive as lifting a house into the air, but daredevil
Erik Roner had a miniature Up moment when he was lifted 8,000 feet into the air with the help of 50 tanks of helium and 90 enormous balloons.

Roner also brought a gun with him so that he could pop the balloons from his chair, and then parachuted to safety.

This isn’t the first time that Roner has recreated something fantastical out of a movie; he also performed a skydive with an umbrella as a Mary Poppins-inspired stunt.
