Re: Helium

A slug of helium off the tank isn't going to kill anyone, otherwise everyone who's used it to speak with a squeaky voice would be dead. The issue with asphyxiating gasses is that if they're breathed continuously, they still allow carbon dioxide to leave the body so there's no sensation of suffocating (the feeling that comes from holding your breath).
