Has a regular balloon ever caused an airplane accident or failure or any kind of real damage to an airplane?
Someone yelled at me for releasing a balloon into the air. He said it could cause an accident. So then i went and released about 15 balloons into the air to piss him off but that's besides the point. Also tell me if anyone has died because of a balloon being released into the air. Doesn't have to be air plain related.
Absolutely not. Contributor eulinda is full of *error*. The leading edges of aircraft wings are designed to fly through hail with minimum damage (if the hail is small) and the fan blades of jet engines are designed to devour birds without a significant loss of power and damage. What is a common latex party (regular) balloon compared to this? If put in proper perspective, helium filled party balloons cause less damage to a flying aircraft than insects impacting your front bumper while driving on the highway. Other than that, there are no instances recorded of anyone dying as a direct result of releasing helium balloons in the atmosphere.
