more accidents now?? yeah - probably more incidents - but, there's also a LOT of balloons.
I will probably go one day - it's a bit down the list atm
watch the powerfarts - they are a risk - and, never with earphones in - very very dangerous
Ha ha ha , yes I can imagine powerfarts aren’t for beginners, reminds me of a programme recently about an old Muslim fella in the gem fields who loved to use his explosives underground. The tip for the camera crew was to keep mouth open during detonation or eardrums would implode . Dangerous stuff.
