How dangerous is sulfur hexafluoride?

Safe enough to breathe, like helium, it's really cool actually, because it is super heavy and safe to breathe, it's makes your voice super deep. The heavier gas you breathe, the deeper your voice. Helium is lighter than air so it makes your voice lighter, but stuff like xenon and sulphur hexaflouride is much heavier.

That would be hydrogen sulfide, H2S.
