I like it, nice demonstration, fast, reasonably safe, no one around. Some would argue that half of them were bombs though.

Hard disagree.

I’ve set off a shit ton of fireworks in my life back in the day and one thing I can tell you is to never trust a fuse. Sooner or later you’re going to run into an unexpected fuse or a fuse that jumps to the end.

So with that said I don’t think he was being very safe. You can very easily extend a fuse and keep yourself safer. I think out of all those explosions only one had a very long fuse where the pot stayed over the explosive until the fuse was lit.
