Whoops! Runaway balloon leaves parachutist grounded

I don't know if anyone has been following Michel Fournier's skydiving attempt, but did things ever go wrong in a big way today! I wonder if he'll try again or just sulk and slink away with his tail between his legs.

Whoops! Runaway balloon leaves parachutist grounded: "A French parachutist's hopes of setting world records for high-altitude jumps were deflated early Tuesday when the balloon designed to ferry him into the Saskatchewan sky drifted away, unsecured to its gondola."
