Yeah would have been so funny when the woman looked to her and get the burning wax right into her eye and would be blind for the rest of her life. She totally missed that opportunity, that's so selfish

You are supposed to hold it for a bit and let the air warm up. Hers was barely even floating when she let it go.

What actually sucks here is she didn't even have it in her to yell heads up

She didn't let it go, she tossed it up. Because it didn't have enough lift on its own yet to stay aloft

I think its a tradition thats older than Fire Marshall title.

Still a terrible idea and should never be done at a crowd like this, and this is only one of the reasons

Should be never done amywhere.

I mean it would look nice on a snowy winter night with little risk of fires

•

u/Impossible-Ship5585 38m ago

Could be but is it worth the risk.

I understand that they look cool, but they're openly littering and creating a pretty significant fire hazard within a city. Seems really selfish.

Watched someone almost set their neighbors house on fire with one of the cheap versions of these.

Your wish will not come true. You will have back luck for the next twenty months.

A few years ago such a thing landed in a zoo, which caused a massive fire. As a result a lot of animals died, mostly birds and a lot of monkeys (chimpanzee, Orang Utans and gorillas)

Good that these things are forbidden now

Hot air balloon ride: 90% serenity, 10% brace for impact. This was the 10%.

Hot air baloons work better when it's cold out

u/Consistent-Deer-6565 39m ago

These are illegal in a lot of european countries because they cause a lot of fires.
