    Lit one on the beach, watched it float straight in the direction of my home about a ½mile away. Two days later, I found it in my neighbors front yard tree, just two doors down from me.

    They are kinda oddly spectacular, the drone footage makes it even cooler, thankyou. I have been thinking about buying some.

    I was thinking of getting some for a camp by the lake with a group of people. Came here to check about them. I see it falls while still on fire. Very bad idea in Australia then.

    These things are not safe. I love them, they’re beautiful, but there is no fiddling the facts. They are not safe. You’re sending a block of burning fuel into the air with zero control of it once it leaves your hands. Something as a simple as a change of wind could be catastrophic. I have used them before, but stopped years ago after a near miss. I now refuse to touch them when family members are using them. I won’t even assist in launching. I want no legal liability.
