<span style='font-size:

and talk the rigger out of an old skydiving harness. Rig the risers to the
burner frame strap the tank to the back where the parachutes were and have fun.

across a lake in a basket.

it's almost guaranteed to be built wrong, fail spectacularly, incur
major hidden costs, and/or walk (fall) off the job without finishing.
