Balloon Flight
Cluster Ballooning. It's an uncommon form of ballooning where a single balloonist is attached by harness to a cluster of helium-inflated balloons, and up you go.

How do you control your flight pattern? You don't. It's uncontrollable. How do descend? You periodically pop balloons to maintain altitude and eventually descend.

There's plenty of fictional tales depicting this form of flight, like Curious George and the likes. But I didn't know people were actually doing it! Kids, do not try this at home!
