Is there anything that we don't have to fear in this scary world? Now the powers that be have to protect us from evil balloons. If the wind at the Macy's parade gets over 23MPH the thing is going to be cancelled because the balloons will kill everyone watching the parade. Oh the humanity!

Well, if no one can be held responsible and sued for any mishap, then I would agree with you....let them fly. But we both know that isn't the case. If someone were to get injured.....here come the lawyers!!

There's nothing new about that. They've always had wind restrictions; they might be a bit more severe nowadays after the one got out of control a few years ago, not to mention our litiginous society.

One of the balloons today, I think Ronald McDonald, was partially deflated after having hit something.

Saw a video where one of the balloons got out of control for a few seconds today and took out what looked like a band member. The guy got decked, then hopped right up with no apparent injuries. But the balloon packed a punch.
