Tinnitus Danger
From my own experience I know that living with tinnitus is no fun. When filling a balloon with a helium the mouthpiece exploded and I now have to learn to live with tinnitus. Be careful, forewarned is forearmed.
Protect your eyes
Your eyes are priceless and above all very vulnerable. The pressure wave that can be created by a nozzle explosion could damage your eyes. Take good care.
Hearingdamage
Wear hearing protection when using a helium tank such as the BalloonGaz which you can buy at Action. The nozzle can burst and the bang can be so loud that hearing damage can occur.
Watch out
Never let children fill balloons with a helium tank. The pressure wave that can be released in an accident is enormous. Since children have shorter arms, they will probably put their face closer to the helium tank, which greatly increases the danger.
The accident
An accident can happen in a blink of an eye but can have major consequences. What happened to me and what consequences this still has for me every day, you can read here.
Looking for fellow sufferers

Be careful with children
Never, ever let your children handle a helium tank.
Use safety glasses
Always wear safety glasses when handling the helium tank.
Use hearing protectors
When filling balloons with a helium tank, always wear hearing protection.
