Faber,
Here are some numbers for the math exercises. Basically 4,000 balloons would definitely pop the pins/peel the velcro. Would pop the pins, lift the canopy to line stretch, and then continue to lift you upward. Well,......OK, maybe 5,000 balloons would be better for me...or 5 of those big 2.5m diameter balloons.

Lifting Math

I'm thinking about the bigger balloon. Something like a rising static line.
