Also, from back when I had a job:
We don't use parachutes on our balloons here because they always* burst over the sea. Given that the radiosonde weighs about half a kilo and falls from a height of 25km on average, I may well have killed a whale. Or a little baby seal. Or a dolphin. If they were on the surface.

(And turtles allegedly mistake the balloons for tasty, tasty jellyfish too. Not that there's likely to have been any turtles in the waters around the Falklands, but a man can dream)
:D
