The joyful atmosphere suddenly turned tragic Flames approached the candles and exploded, causing injuries

A birthday celebration turned into a disaster after several women sustained varying degrees of burns due to the ignition of gas-filled balloons, in an incident that shocked the participants.

A circulating video on social media showed moments of the celebration, where the atmosphere was cheerful with a lit cake and colorful balloons, before the scene suddenly became tragic.

Burns on the face While the birthday girl was receiving congratulations, flames from the candles came close to one of the balloons, causing it to ignite and explode immediately, sending a ball of fire into the room.

The incident resulted in three women being injured, including the birthday girl, who suffered burns on her face and other parts of her body, amid a state of panic among those present.

Reports indicate that this type of accident is not rare, as burn incidents during celebrations often occur due to unsafe use of balloons or fireworks.

Experts warn that some balloons may be filled with highly flammable hydrogen gas instead of safe helium, making them easily ignitable when near heat or flames.

Safety specialists confirm that distinguishing between helium-filled and hydrogen-filled balloons is nearly impossible by the naked eye, requiring extreme caution and avoiding placing balloons near candles or any sources of fire to ensure the safety of participants during celebrations.
