And if it really was hooked up, it would be quite a nasty affair. The odorant used in bottled gas lingers on the inside of the tank for a very long time. You can flush the tank out many times with regular air and it still smells bad.

Yup, he'd need a pretty good-sized weight belt to overcome that BC.

Regardless I'm pretty sure we agree that on a good/bad scale it's way down at the bottom, near bad.

:

The odorant is called mercaptan. In my yute I had the opportunity to rebuild a compressor that pumped pure concentrated mercaptan.
After a little while I couldn't smell it anymore but other people sure could smell it on me. Fer a month! Nasty.

Could be simply for buoyancy.

Lots of mercaptan in Santa Barbara oil fields, irks the rick folk. I cried for them.....

Our astronomy club site for our star parties was in an area that had a natural gas pipeline with a mercaptan injection system fairly close by. I never saw the thing in more than twilight. At night it was just pitch black and we could not see it but we could hear the valves and pumps making noises. Every once and a while it must need to burp because it would stink like crazy and then it would be less stinky. It was a super dark site.

I'm not really afraid of heights, i'm quite happy doing aerobatics with an airforce friend of mine but that vid gave me the willies.
