"There is also the danger that if they come down alight they could start a fire..
Obvious now, but never having seen one I hadn't realised they actually had naked flames.
That would really make them little better than 'ethically-sourced', unguided airborne incendiary devices, like those Japanese balloon bombs targetting the US via the jetstream during WW2.
So I do wonder if the biodegradability aspects are the main issue, and frankly why they are allowed. Mind you, every Nov. 5 the UK does seem to put its pyromaniac's hat and mask on.
Love the 'but they are ethically-sourced' counter.
