    First of all I would like to wish everyone involved a good and speedy recovery.

    And you know what... if you're bold (and crazy) enough you can actually run along with such a "batteria". The festival in San Severo is considered to be the second most dangerous festival in the...

    A nice example of a "scala a otto con controcolpo".
    Too bad the "controcolpo" went on the ground. That's something seldomly seen with these small shells (for italian standards these are small)....

    I agree that it would be an improvement to have the fuse visibly running to the bottom of the shell.
    Recently I made the same mistake with a small stage fountain being fused in the same way. On the...

    In the UK reloadable shell kits up to 3 inch were available. Mostly being used in semi-public displays that were fired by e.g. a headmaster of an elementary school or the head of a fire...

    @displayfireworks1:
    I think it's a good thing that the industry is trying to take precautions instead of waiting for an eventual ban of a product due to misuse or easy mistakes. It shows that they...

    Although to us it seems just plain stupidity to put a shell upside down into the mortar tube, it's because a mistake like that is easily made that reloadable shell kits are forbidden in The...

    Holy sh**. I was actually scared to watch this video to the "moment supreme".
    By the looks of it (at 00:15 in the video), someone already had a close call earlier.

    In that case we have found us a difference between Norwegian and Dutch pyro companies :/
    Over here a license only makes a difference if a company is short on licensees. In other words if they can't...

    Thanks for your video report.
    Amazing quality for a consumer shell.
    Love the glitter at the end :)

    I always find it difficult to judge live in the field which display was the best, because my senses and emotions have an influence on my judgement. The least I can say for now is that I found the...

    Probably not, because a lot of companies work with volunteers. They like to hire as little people as possible. For a display only one licensee is necessary. The rest of the crew works under his/her...

    Cool. Fun to watch. Thanks for sharing. It appears to have been a nice day for setting up fireworks: sunny (maybe a bit too windy and a little wet). If I'm not mistaking some of my friends of...
