It did not hit me when I saw it, but the balloon itself does not LOOK right. It does not look like it CAN hold a 40 lb cargo, and it does not look like it is.

They say the base is cardboard, yet it is not deformed by the kids weight (which would be apparent with a shiny surface like that). It is possible that they used several layers in laminate, but you would STILL have some sort of bump or bulge, the bottom looked flat.

The fabric does not look like it is being pulled by the cargo compartment at all. They may have some ballast there, but not enough to distend/distort the balloon.

Also, if I remember right, didn't they say they waited 30 minutes BEFORE calling the cops? I am sorry, but if I thought my kid was in there I would call IMMEDIATELY and apologize later if I found him in the bathroom or something.

These guys are real pieces of ...work.
