WATCH OUT BALLOONS
There are celebrations ranging from birthdays to weddings to graduations all year round. Many people release balloons as a form of celebration or memorial, but they don't realize how much damage they can cause to power lines. These thin metallic balloons, otherwise known as Mylar balloons, have a silvery coating that conducts electricity. In the event that they float off and touch a power line, this could result in explosions, fires, power outages, and injuries.
一年四季都有很多庆祝活动，从生日、婚礼到毕业典礼。庆祝活动结束的时候，往往会有放飞气球的活动。但是大家有没有意识到气球可能引起一些电力事故。这些薄薄的金属气球，也被称为 Mylar气球，表面有银色的涂层，这个涂层非常容易导电。气球漫无目的地漂浮在空中，如果不小心接触到了电力线，很有可能会导致爆炸、火灾、停电和人员的受伤。
