Low Break 5 inch Professional Fireworks

Say hello to the real deal here. This is what it looks like when a 5 inch fireworks shell only lifts partially out of the mortar.

@L33tP1ckL best thing to do is hit the deck face down with your feet facing the shell

Why are there four or five guys out there? Just asking for more trouble with that many. On a show that size we will ONLY let 2 techs out. One main to fire and one as backup. Crazy to allow that many to wander around the site during a display.

Looks to me like someone put a 4 inch shell in a 5 inch mortar. That would cause exactly what you see happen here.

@MrLamapare Yikes!

@L33tP1ckL I know a guy who had crossettes driven into his back from a shell muzzle break! :(

Nice video, but that is a underlifted shell. Not enough bp. You can see the rising effeft took fire and the whole damm shell came back down and broke on the bridge. If it was a low break it would have broke at less then optimal height. Muzzle breaks are much more scary. It's nice to have stars flying at you at body height! :( Glad nodody was hurt and it didn't light the rest of the show. Keep up the good videos.

Having both the remnants of a 4" Tri-color Balls and a 5" Winter Rose permanently ensconced in my back :) there is one thing you must always keep in mind when dealing with a low break, muzzle flash or other errant shell behavior. You cannot, repeat CANNOT outrun the son of a bitch. Don't even try.
