yeah would not be recommended in wooded areas or very dry areas. could start a forest fire. we have enough of them going on in the USA don't need more.

100% good old common sense !…

I hate to be an environment freak but flying flaming plastic trash bags seem like a bad idea

[vincent7520]

Agreed. Silk paper does the job magnificently !…

How do you not burn anything down? It seems dangerous. Just saying

[backflip11]

it cant come down until the fires out and it just got done raining out

[Dowaine]

you could tie some kite string to the balloon and then you could real it in when you were done

[vincent7520]

Nope ! The higher the balloon is, the longer the string is … thus the heavier : all in all the heat would be high enough to lift both balloon and string !…
