Actually I think I would be BU so I'm probably not going to, but I was given one of these and wanted to see if there was a way of enjoying them safely. To anyone who has had them, is it in any way possible to light one that is tethered to the ground by string (don't know what they look like when they're lit and as such how big the fuel source is). I thought if it was tethered we could sit and enjoy it for half and hour and then pull it back down to ground and extinguish it. Is that at all possible?
I'd be far too terrifed to let it go completely - read too much about damage to animals and buildings. I don't want to cause a fire. But I want a special moment on my dp's birthday too.
