      No worries, that only happens if there’s a spark, like for instance some static electricity. Shouldn’t be a problem here, surely this thing won’t generate any of that.

        Wouldn’t this still need to be tethered to the ground? Would that likely have grounding cables?

          That helps against sparks jumping between the balloon and the ground, but things could still get zappy between the individual components of the balloon.

        “Skytanic” was a great episode of Archer. For anyone that hasn’t seen it, the running gag is that Archer thinks the non-flammable helium is going to explode the blimp they’re on leading to things like this slap
