Here is a video of slow motion consumer artillery shell. I saw this a while ago and wanted to post it here for those that have not seen it. It is kind of cool to see exactly what goes on when one of these consumer shells goes up.

you would think the fire department would have thought about that before they set off the fireworks.

i am convinced that some one got in trouble for that. Especially in front of the fire chef.

I guess the moral of the story is a concrete bunker is useless if the door is not shut tight! Great video!

IMO..That bale of hay was just a lame attempt to make fireworks appear more dangerous. Other than that it was a great video.

Cool video, always like to see fireworks on tv...unfortunate that their bad preparation gave the media another chance to say "leave fireworks to the professionals...blah blah"

Those stars shot surprisingly far for a small class c shell... Makes me question whether or not much of that was bs... :/

the bail of hay was there to prove a point about how flammable dry things can be when used in the vicinity of fireworks. they did the "test" at a fire training facility. at the end they even say they used the demo to bring in a crew and do a test run of sorts

damn edit function....i thought when i originally watched this that they had said they placed the hay there. nonetheless it's a fire training facility and the hay is there for their training. i dont think any of the time warp stuff is bs. all they do is slow it down to an extremely slow pace. a lot of their other stuff is pretty incredible as well.

Highly unlikely....all they would have to say is you're right, shooting fireworks on a homemade tripod without a tube IS dangerous especially since were shooting them in a manner inconsistent with its labelling. Keep in mind this was just a controlled experiment. Otherwise they would try to ban turkey deep fryers since the same chief boiled over hot fry oil.

Some fire cheifs are Jackass's who were bullied in school. So they are on a power trip.lol The Cheif in this video is mad cool I dealt with him this past summer on a consumer show I helped with in his area. Especialy where fireworks are outlawed he could have came to us and confiscated everything. instead he checked everything out made sure there was no 1.3. then told us to be safe.

They Banned out door firepits in my city which is fine by me the houses are very close together. my knuckle headed neighbor decided to light one anyway.the fire department came and extinguished it.
