The Schwalbe Professional bike tires blimp has a flawless safety record

Since I live in south Florida, I get to see a blimp multiple times every winter, usually. They're kinda like birds and old people, they all come south for the winter.
I've also seen the Zeppelin NT.

Thanks to the puncture protection system.
But it's way too heavy to ever lift off the surface.

helium blimps are the safest form of aviation actually, but not very practical

Does the size of the gondola increase exponentially or something when you double the size of the gasbag

>>960064
See how the blimp bag doesn't just increase in length but also in diameter. The answer to your question is an obvious no.

These were military blimps. The one below was 100 meters in length. They used heavier materials to construct the gondola for protection. A civilian blimp could use lighter materials and make the gondola a lot larger.
