Describing the sky adventure as “unbelievably cool,” Tom Morgan said he also encountered unexpected breathtaking moments of scare as when the helium balloons drifted towards the inversion layer of the atmosphere, the flight started to accelerate all of a sudden due to the rocketing temperature. “I had to keep my cool and start gradually cutting the balloons,” Morgan told BBC explaining how he coped with the bumpy flight. /(Tencent Photo)
