Simon spots the loophole

Here's a description of the contestant's attempt. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to illustrate it.

Simon spots the loophole in the task, noting that the task does not specify that the balloon must fall the greatest distance - only that it must be dropped from the greatest height. He therefore puts the balloon on the lift device, slings a hammock immediately below the release doors, and has Mark crank the device to its full height. He is thus able to drop the balloon from 7.5m without any danger of it being damaged. He therefore earns second place in the task.
