How to throw a fun (and safe) fireworks party 🎆 — CanadaDay LongWeekend
includes controlled mini-explosions, then we have the tips you need to make your fireworks party go off with a bang, and ensure that no-one goes home with singed eyebrows .If you have a fair bit of cash to splash on a bombastic backyard display, you might be tempted to buy the biggest box of fireworks you can. You need to resist that urge—for several reasons.
That said, there’s still plenty you can do in less space. “Fountains, Roman Candles and Shooting Stars offer low-level effects that you can have plenty of fun with, and are perfectly safe—as long as you’re smart,” says Jacobs. “They might sound a bit boring to you, but kids love them.”I’ve seen fireworks shoot sideways at crowds, drunken dads trying to light fireworks with sparklers, and extremely young kids being allowed to handle fireworks.
The majority of incidences with fireworks miss-firing are due to them not being secured properly. “It will tell you on the box whether you need to partly bury it in sand or stabilize it with rocks or bricks,” Jacobs says, “And you need to follow those instructions.” If you don’t stabilize the firework properly, it could seriously hurt someone.
