Came in here to say a similar thing. Everyone in Brazil (well, almost everyone) knows how dangerous these balloons can be. They're not the manned hot-air balloons that a lot of people might picture when they read the headline. They're unmanned balls of fire that are just released into the world and made into someone else's problems.
Speaking to the newspaper O Globo last year, the police chief tasked with foiling Rio’s baloeiros insisted ballooning was a crime, not a cultural practice. As well as endangering aircraft and vehicles, balloons had landed on homes, power lines and petrol stations, causing explosions, forest fires and deaths.
If someone had a gender reveal that burned down half a forest in California, people would (rightfully) be outraged. Should be the same with these balloons.
