That just happened to me at a firework show

[@MinecraftAedda]

You got me fired! You said not to try this at home so I tried it at work instead. Destroyed a $3000 printer and it scared one of my co-workers so bad she knocked over the water cooler which ran into the office below ours. My boss was so livid he left for the day, didn't even say anything. Security stopped me when I came in the next morning and told me I was no longer allowed in the building.

You should have put a ball shell upside down in an up right tube. That's a more common mistake with ball and especially canister shells.

Maybe I’ll make a second video with more common mistakes. Maybe I will make a safety video as well

[@hkguitar1984]

@@backyardfireworks donaldlegg has a great idea, I've seen many people load the mortar upside down with the lifting charge facing upwards. Yeah, a safety video would be helpful. You could cover what kinds of lighters are best for windy conditions.

[@mikehobson711]

@@J_Bwn not always. I do that for my last BIG BOOM which it is but anyway. I was able to put 2 in upside down one 4th and the tube somehow held but 3rd shell obliterated the tube. I think it is much louder upside down. of course this was about when I was in my 20's. would I do it now? IDK, maybe

[@howardmaryon]

My friend was having a firework party on November 5th ( English celebration of the day Parliament didn’t get blown up) and the finale was this $100 star shell. Everyone was drunk, including my friend when they set it off, unknowingly upsidedown. The police arrived to find a garden full of temporarily deaf people, some with minor burns and burn holes in their clothes, and a five-foot crater in the lawn.

[@god-tx4xz]

The tube is a funstopper. The mortars are much better when put on the ground and lit. And don't waste the roman candles or bottle rockets unless you have a friend with whom you can battle.

[@Bosscheesemo]

My Brother and I used to take our fireworks to a frozen lake and launch them through a hole in the ice underwater. Really cool effects. Also there used to be a long abandoned railroad bridge where we'd light artillery shell fuses, let the fuse burn down in our hands, then throw it under the bridge. REALLY awesome

[@backyardfireworks]

[@georgiosrinakakis934]

Some fireworks back when I was a kid, you could squeeze the middle with a pair of pliers, and they would explode like an M80. It was pretty cool 😎!!

[@TrainTruck]

Kept on thinking of building a solid platform with a trackable adjustment to hold mostly cakes or artilleries shell shots so they stay sitting up even if looking like they can't.

[@remingtonbundt5359]

Normally with mortars, it’s because they put the shell itself upside down not the tube 😂

Try putting a mortar firework upside down and leave the tube right side up then light it. Or put two mortars on top of each other and light them. I should clarify the mortars are the ones that explode in the sky with cool patterns. Try having one of those explode around you. My uncle is a moron.

I live in Australia, where you are not allowed to buy fireworks (other than in the Australian Capital Territory and Northern Territory). We were holidaying in Hawaii and happened to be in Hilo for the Fourth of July. I was very tempted to buy a giant box of fireworks at a supermarket but my kids played the role of the responsible adult and talked me out of it.

[@danb9312]

[@crooked-halo]

Congratulations, you've encouraged lots of people to now light fireworks upside-down. The daylight really subtracted from this experiment, you moved too far away, and I get tired of being told to not try this yourself/at home etc. I always think for myself & make my own decisions. The roman candle balls travelling under the snow looked very cool. I wonder what it's like firing them into water?

[@saucerset12]

What you should never ever ever do is put the shell upside down in the tube. It's definitely loud and will blow the tube to pieces. It definitely will hit your neighbors house and put burn holes in their siding. I would definitely recommend using a metal tube mounted to a base if one was so inclined to attempt to light a shell upside down, which I do not recommend at all because it is loud and spectacular(ly dangerous).

[@TatsByTaco]

We used to call those cardboard grenades in high school lol

[@dronko-fire-blaster]

We had a shell go off in the tube once it was just loud and sent sparks flying in to the air, the tube was fine.

[@Crossfirepyro2]

Very fun very interesting but definitely for educational purposes only

[@backyardfireworks]

Definitely

[@kahwi_]

Saturn missiles have loose powder in each tube which is supposed to shoot the missiles out and when it's upside down the fuse doesn't ignite the powder. With it on its side, it is more likely to work as intended.

[@vincentfabiano4892]

I was at a Independence Day party 1 year & a person let their daughter that was like 8 or 9 light some fireworks even after she burned a couple fingers with a sparkler & lit her sleeve on fire. The last straw was when she grabbed a mortar & lit it upside down on a cinder block. It blew the block to pieces & caused everyone there to run. People with small kids DO NOT LET THEM LIGHT FIREWORKS.... luckily no one was hurt but it could've been way worse.
