As the balloon rises the hydrogen expands it until the balloon bursts, when the instruments fall to the ground. A height of eleven miles has been reached...

Even if he were not physically able to do this, no harm would be done, for the captains of the major teams to which he belonged would see to it that he did not hurt himself by participation in any of the winter sports...
