How very Iain Banks

The 'flying away' bit is quite exciting..

The becoming separated from ones balloons...very tragic.

yes both the film with the hot air balloon and the kite

oooh,..was that the Wasp Factory?

He was trying to raise money for a 'spiritual rest stop for truckers'. An interesting cause.

maybe he floated into heaven

Aha, both of them
Iain Banks - Wasp factory, the narrator kills a small girl by tying her to a kite.
Ian McEwan - beginning of ? Enduring Love? with the hot hair balloon escaping...

Enduring Love.

Surely a Darwin award contender?

the balloon accident in enduring love really scared the life out of me.

Me too SEA...it was nightmarish, hard to shake off,
