Man Suspends Self From Hot Air Balloon With Body Piercings [VIDEO]

I need a cooler hobby. Over the weekend, Zane Whitmore, a 34-year-old from Seattle, attached himself to a hot air balloon with four piercings across his shoulder blades, and took to the air for a little more than an hour, cruising at just under 3 000 metres. No, I don’t know why either, look at the video.

The act of “suspension,” which is what hobbyists call the whole hang-from-hooks-piereced-through-the-body thing, was for a feature-length documentary called “Feet Off The Ground” currently in production.

Said Whitmore at the press release:

“I felt like I was flying. It was amazing to have a perspective on a landscape that no one has had before. As I drifted down low I was struck by the movement I saw on the ground, by how much life exists in the desert. It was actually a very peaceful experience.”
