Helium balloon trick...

Two university students were found dead inside a large, deflated helium balloon after apparently pulling it down and crawling inside it, officials said.

The deaths of Jason Ackerman and Sara Rydman, both 21, appear to be accidental, Hillsborough County Sheriff's Major Bob Schrader said.

Their bodies were found yesterday partially inside a deflated helium balloon at the entrance of a condominium complex a few kilometres north of Tampa. The 2.4-metre-diameter balloon was used to advertise the complex.

"It was more a fun thing they thought they were doing," said Linda Rydman, whose daughter was found dead. "You know how you blow up the balloon and suck the helium."

The county medical examiner said today the cause of death will not be released until toxicology tests are completed.

Inhaling helium can quickly lead to brain damage and death from lack of oxygen, according to the Compressed Gas Association, which develops safety standards in the gas industry.

It's strange that you should say that, I always think the same thing! I did click on it after I read the OP's next post though.

Not being rude either... on a first post which has nothing but a link I just cant be bothered..especially if there is no comment by the poster. Lack of curiosity or low boredom threshold maybe?? If its a BBC link with no comment not only do I not bother opening it ,I attack the asshole who has posted it :D

I think that's what it is, I don't mind a link, it's the ones with no comment that usually stops me from opening that link. Like you said, lack of curiosity I guess. (sorry to the OP!) :)
