In recent news a man tried to fly like marry Poppins did in the movie. In the attempt he rode up in a hot air balloon and jumped out, he had a parachute in case it didn’t work. Almost right away the pressure from the surrounding air turned the umbrella inside out and he had to resort to using his parachute. I think that it would have been really cool if it had worked.

I don't really know what the "Mary Poppin' way" is.. but I think it would have been cool if it was successful.
Any person with common sense would know that just a normal umbrella wouldn't work.
thats kinda crazy but interesting he should keep trying to make it work
For science! he probably could have gotten his answer without trying it, but that wouldn't have been fun. I applaud his minor contribution to umbrella flight.
I think that he was kind of ignorant to think that this would work at all. I am glad he was smart enough to have a parachute as backup. On a lighter note I think it would be really cool if he made an umbrella that would allow him to do so! :)
This would of been cool if it would of work and he was smart using the parachute because it would not of been good if he didn't have it.
That dude is an IDIOT. why would you do that. I mean i jumped off my be with an umbrella opened and acted like it was a parachute but i only weighed like 75 pounds.
Well it was a good thing that he had a parachute cause otherwise it would have not been good for that guy.
He should have known it wouldnt work..that was a movie. Im glad he didnt get hurt or die or anything...Maybe he wont try this anymore though.
This is kinda of funny! I cant believe there are crazy people like this out there! its a cool idea though! Im sure it would be a found time
