To understand what happened, it is important to first understand helium gas. It does not stay near the ground, does not form clouds, and does not suffocate people in open spaces. Inside a helium cylinder, the pressure can reach 200 to 300 bar, which means the gas is squeezed tightly into a small space. From this scientific and safety angle, the burst near Mysuru Palace at 8.30 pm could have been a tragic mechanical failure. This can be done by weakening the metal body, tampering with the valve, or causing internal imbalance (disturbing uniform pressure inside the cylinder so stress builds up at one weak point).
