Interesting question! I have the original Cosmos series by Carl Sagan on DVD. In that series he speculates that balloon like creatures could exist high in the atmosphere of gas giant planets where the atmospheric pressure is much higher than on Earth. The closest Earth native I can think of is the jellyfish, which is helpless on land. At any rate I don't think balloon creatures are likely to inhabit the same environment as human-like creatures so any strength comparison between the two is irrelevant.
