We set some off at Haloween and Guy Fawks night, they are truley magical, we write messages on them. Dunno if they are safer than sending up 8 ozs of gun powder in a 1lb rocket not knowing who it may land back on to. At least with the sky lanterns, if the wind is blowing over to town, then it is a no go.

... after extraordinary high numbers of serious accidents linked with these Chinese lanterns they are now forbidden in most of the Laenders (federal states of the FRG).

 

They may be nice when shining over empty rural areas (if not getting mixed up with emergency flares) but they were responsible for damages worth some hundred millions of € over here in more densly populated areas within the last decade ... :(
