Yeah, we saw one on our last trip go up like a balloon as soon as a gust of wind hit it. It was an expensive one too, so god knows what would have happened to a cheaper one. I think they are a disaster waiting to happen.

The expensive bit comes when it then lands on someone else's tent, hence them being banned on a lot of sites. Best kept for the garden imo.

At one time I didn't think like this, but the more I see of them, the more I realize how unstable they can be. It seems a good buy though, but I think these days, I would just keep it for the back garden.
