with helium? an adult would take about 6200. We know human air doesn't work because people who are full of it don't fly away we're still stuck with them.

If you filled them with air, all the balloons in the world wouldn't pick you up. You'd have to fill them with something that's lighter than air - hydrogen or helium, perhaps.
It would take thousands of helium balloons to lift a grown man into the air. Possibly tens of thousands.
If you got ahold of much larger balloons, like surplus weather balloons, you'd only need a few to do it. That's what "Lawn Chair Larry" did in 1982. He floated to 16,000 feet over Los Angeles (His flight earned him the altitude record for manned clustered-balloon flight, an FAA fine, and a prize from the Bonehead Club of Dallas.)

MythBusters did this one.under controlled circumstances...there was a guy back in the 70's I think who actually did it though.
But you can't blow them up, expired air is mostly CO2,which is "heavier than air". You need something very bouyant like Helium
