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)....
Now you got me thinking of attending church again ;)
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 addition:
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...
In that case, I would like to help with the set-up :)
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...
That's some rapid firing. Gheghe.
Hi Doctor,
now I wanted to write to you that I'm going to look up and make a scan of some of the old folders and advertisements that I saved from that time. But first I did a small search with...
The fountains shown in the beginning of both movie clips and the rockets and ground spinners in the second movie at respectively 00:27 and 01:58 are exactly the indian fireworks that used to be...
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...
As promised a few minutes ago in a thread in the UK-section, here's a video of the set-up of a display I did. I just watched it again myself as well. Always brings back memories when watching videos...
Only one more week and then I'll be there again.
Will be my nineth consecutive year. Woehoe! :)
@Quartiere: keep a look out for me. Will be great to meet you guys again.
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...
And even then, you'll still need to work FOR a fireworks company (that has to live up to rules and regulations as stated in previous posts). As an individual you may not shoot any fireworks (New...
In that case, you wouldn't believe the number of "dumb people" living in The Netherlands. Although 1.4 G aerial shells aren't allowed, still lots of people have the experience of consumer cakes...
I second that, Pyro-T
The reason for shells to be banned in most (European) countries is that most people don't know that the long leader fuse is actually quickmatch that burns extremely fast. Another reason is that...
This reminds me of the old days :)
I still know a few by heart.
- if you look lustfully at every cardboard tube, except perhaps the toilet paper roll
- if you know the heat of decomposition of...
