The Maritime and Coastguard Agency says coastguards and lifeboats are sent out needlessly. In 2010 the agency recorded 1,500 flare incidents, of which 500 were believed to be false alarms caused by lanterns, while the CAA says they also pose danger to landing aircraft.
Crops are also at risk; last summer in Oxfordshire, a blaze from a lantern destroyed 2.5 hectares of barley. Litter is also a problem, said the NFU: "The people releasing lanterns wouldn't dream of dumping rubbish, but that's what is happening."
@james58390 I know that is important, but if people are this creative to make these, they have the creaitivity to make it safe too, so that doesn't have to happen.
Civil Aviation Authority wants a ban on the sale of the sky lanterns, which are paper and wire hot air balloons fuelled by a naked flame. "People have no control where they land," said Nick von Westenholz, government affairs adviser for the NFU. Dorset and Somerset fire service said it had seen a sharp increase in lantern fires in the past year. Farmers say cows suffer stomach damage from eating the wire of fallen lanterns.
it goes up into the sky but when does the lantern blow out james58390 is right it could get caught in a tree they are quite dangerous just be careful and make sure you have a couple of people with you to help and make sure you have a bucket of water or sand near by just incase x
Seriously irresponsible to set fire to stuff and launch it into the air to land anywhere. Could end up setting someones house or barn or stables on fire. Could kill people, kill animals, or destroy people's livelihood...
...and how about forest or heath fires?
ah well, its a giggle right?
Only complete losers would do such a thing!
Nonsense to say these are safe - just look at all the you tube videos showing people being idiots with them, and getting caught in trees etc
@james58390 Dude chill, did you see any trees? The fire extinguishes automatically after a few minutes. And besides, this sight would almost be worth dying for.
