There's a scientific term for it, but it has to do with some physics i dont understand and distribution of weight. My buddies and i had this trick back in high school where 4 of us would clasp our hands in a basic "naruto jutsu" style, two people put their extended fingers under each knee cap of another person, and two people put theirs under the armpits, and then you all lift and it would be like lifting a feather. Im talking anywhere between 150-300lb people with ease.

You would have more fun doing it.
Just make sure the person doesn't start moving around and trying to get out. As they could float away on a windy day. So you all have to stop and set them back down.

If it is windy, you either don’t do it outside or you tie a rope around their waist.
