Problem with a sale and use ban on fireworks is that you would get allsorts of unsafe unregulated dangerous european and chinese import fireworks being sold thru the blackmarket that are far more lethal to set off and use than the regulated BS7114 manufacturer endorsed retail garden and display items.

[AnthonyUK]

Fireworks if used properly don't cause problems. They should, according to instructions be

(a)Placed upright on a flat level surface before lighting,

(b)Buried in a bucket of sand/earth before lighting,

(c)Fastened to a wooden stake driven into the ground with gaffa tape before lighting(this instruction is usually indicated with"attach securely to an upright post"),

(d)Bury two thirds deep in soft ground and angle away from spectators,buildings,trees and other obstructions before lighting.

The guy who does the voice over for this film sounds like the same guy who did the voice over for the video of the song "shine on" by blind zero. It's on YT. I wonder if it is perhaps the same guy?

I've had many years involved in roman candle wars, bottle rocket wars, artillary shell wars, and just plain old redneck style fun. never anything serious happened. just some bruises contact burns and loss of a few mustache and beard hairs from lighting the fuses with my camel (the only way). So i sorta Lol'd at first, then i felt sorry, i guess it sucked in the hospital, and in pain for a little girl. as for me experience and pain and consumer explosives=one hell of a time.
