    Thats probably because it was stuck. Thats why it says in the instructions of most rockets 'Ensure rocket is free to rise'

    Thats not what happend, the motor was resting ontop of a PVC tube(pushed into the ground), with the stabalising stick inside. there was no possible way it could get stuck.

    This is the standard way of setting off fireworks.

    I dont really buy rockets anymore, i dont like them. think they are a waste of money, plus that damn stick, you dont know where it's going to end up.
  • lol i am with you on that stick you do never know where it will end up but you cant beat the effect of a rocket unless you get a ariel shell

    I cut the rockets off by accident, and a 19 shot barrage 'hellfire' for £17 (brightstar).
