Tis a bloody nasty gas, if it breaks down and bonds with water molecules it forms hydroflouric acid. Which is seriously evil, cus its absorbed by the skin so burns can take a while to develope and once its in it starts attacking all the calcium in your body.

Not much worse than helium tbh. Just displaces some of the air in your lungs for a lil while. Is funny as fuck though.

Yup, obviously in large quantities it can kill in exactly the same way helium would. By displacing all the air in your lungs and consequently you'd suffocate. Small quantities like from a balloon is fine.

Though of course we are all in the understanding that i'm not a doctor and can't be held responsible for any accidental death cause by trying the above

Check the end bit of this, allows the object to float in the tank. That's nifty.

FFS people put helium in their oxygen tank for diving to deeper depths, so not that bad.
