I meant to say in the halium baloon fuzzy dice comment: The mass is less so the acceleration is GREATER, so the velocity vector is bent MORE, and the baloon turns to left QUICKER than the surrounding air. My original remarks still apply for Helium 9875, a extreemly rare but very heavy isotope of this element. You have to drive the car pretty fast to avoid fallout problems.
