Yes, but I no longer read YouTube comments. It's wasted effort.

I'm going to stick to my guns and say this is a hoax. I just hope it is, as if a 6 year old died because of wacko parents, things are going to get messy.

If the kid did fall out and die this classic clip from Mallrats explains how I feel about it:

If a 6 year old died after falling from a helium balloon, things would get very messy indeed.

Oh man... They are saying that there was a basket attached and that it fell off of the balloon while it was in the air. Poor kid... I really do feel bad for him and his family. It's easy to blame his parents for their mistake, but that isn't the kind of fate that kid deserves for it.
