Yeah it might be fine, but as a precaution, personally I would not use it. (does it looks mishaped too?),. . IF they want to use it then it is their own fault if it explodes on the ground, and injures someone. You cannot tell someone it is fine to use, because you simply dont know. Like you said you are not a proffesional..

I have had perfectly normal looking ones explode instead of launching(standard fireworks)

You check before you light that the rocket is free to rise;if you have inadvertantly pushed it into the ground a little before lighting, loosen it and make sure it can rise. 99% of rocket misfires and detonations at groundlevel happen BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T CHECK THEY CAN RISE FREELY BEFORE LIGHTING!!!

comet bomb produces a loud crackle mine and an aerialburst of colour peony with bang or a crackle mine with stunning quieter burst of beautiful golden aerial swimming fish.

Is the comet bomb from Aldi too? We were going to get ours from Asda but the liberator barrage seems pretty good but quiet like the sound of the comet bomb too. Thanks.

Large comet bomb is a big bore single shot roman candle that only comes in TNT's selection boxes and barrage packs;can't buy them separately i'm afraid.

Is it part of the liberator barrage? (am getting that but wasn't sure if the comet was a seperate firework if that makes sense) thanks

Spectators should be at least 25 metres upwind of the fireworks if you can manage it(spectators 25m away with their backs to the prevailing wind). Boards should be provided to stand wide flatbottomed fireworks on, buckets of sand should be provided to bury fireworks in, and rocket tubes should go at the back of the firing area in the ground angled away from trees/spectators and obstructions. Fire in order of size,small medium then large items last. Firers should wear gloves, safety glasses and a hardhat while firing.

We dont have safety glasses or hardhats so what would you suggest? Also which are the ones that we have to keep away from the trees and plants please?
