Lucky to be alive
Recently in Huizhou, Guangdong Province, a man who was paralyzed from the waist down due to a car accident attempted to fulfill his "flying dream" by tying a bunch of toy helium balloons to a folding deck chair and taking to the skies without a parachute or any safety measures. He circled over Huizhou, recording a final message on his phone: "I don't know if I'll come back alive." Lacking a parachute, he had to cut the balloons' ropes to descend. Losing control of the balloons' buoyancy, he crashed onto a rooftop and immediately lost consciousness. Fortunately, concerned bystanders called the police. An examination revealed a fractured cervical vertebra, and he was discharged from the hospital after brief treatment.
