On February 18, 2021, a hydrogen balloon burning accident occurred at the entrance of a park in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu. On site footage shows that hydrogen balloons sold by mobile vendors instantly exploded. The police said that at the time of the incident, an elderly smoker passed by and the wind blew the balloon onto the cigarette butt in the old man's hand, causing an explosion.

Why does a hydrogen balloon explode?
The hydrogen gas inside the balloon is
A flammable and explosive gas with the lowest density
Not easily reactive with oxygen at room temperature
But friction with other objects generates static electricity

When encountering open flames, direct sunlight, or excessive pressure
It may cause an instant explosion
Becoming a hot fireball
Burn the people around the balloon
Dangerous actions, please do not imitate.

The surface temperature of plastic melted by high temperature is very high
Dripped plastic liquid
Stick to human skin
Can cause serious burns and scalds
Hydrogen balloons are so dangerous

Why are they still selling on the streets?
Generally speaking, to make a balloon fly, one needs to fill it with hydrogen or helium gas, both of which have a lower density than air, allowing the balloon to float in the air.
In July 2006, relevant departments of the country jointly issued a notice on further strengthening the safety management of releasing balloons, requiring inert gases to replace flammable and explosive gases such as hydrogen as the filling material for balloons. It also clearly stipulated that filling and releasing hydrogen balls and their lifting objects in public places is prohibited, and it is strictly prohibited to fill and hold hydrogen balloons in various occasions.
In addition to hydrogen gas, the inert gas helium can also make balloons float. But currently, the price difference between hydrogen and helium in the market is more than 10 times. Therefore, it is not ruled out that some businesses may use hydrogen gas to fill balloons.
Guangdong Fire Protection Reminder:

When purchasing balloons, everyone
Be sure to first understand what is inside the balloon
Is it a safe inert gas such as hydrogen or helium
Do not choose products containing hydrogen or other combustible gases inside
At the same time, remind parents

When buying balloon toys for children
We also need to achieve the following 7 major points:
1. It is not recommended to buy balloons for children under 3 years old to play with; It is best for children under 8 years old to play under adult supervision.
2. Try to choose balloons produced by legitimate manufacturers and avoid buying them at street stalls and other places. Many of the balloons sold on the streets are "three no" products, with poor quality and uneven thickness, which are prone to explosion and injury.
3. The purchased balloon should not be too large. Balloons that are too large can have a strong impact force at the moment of explosion, especially in enclosed spaces.

4. When inflating a balloon, do not inflate it too quickly, excessively, or too forcefully, and do not approach children's eyes when inflating.
5. Do not tie balloons to children's wrists or buttons.
6. Do not bring balloons into elevators, buses, or put them in your own car. Once they explode, the impact force of the enclosed space will be much greater.
When educating children to play with balloons, they should choose to play in open areas and stay away from sources of fire, sharp objects, etc.
