    Did this on accident on new years, we were all still around 15 feet away, had the tube mounted to 1" 3/4 Manufactured particle board. Blew a perfectly circular hole into the board then launched the tube around 25 feet off the board, almost hit our car. We were pretty deaf from the blast because of how close we all were still.

"From what I've heard, he thought it was a dud. He was trying to mess with the people around him to make them laugh and kinda freak them out a little bit. And he thought it was a dud. He was playing with the lighter and pretending to light it and it actually lit. It was never actually meant to go off." Really enjoy your videos here on KZread.

    Laurence Hartnett I read about that in the news. However, after looking up videos on youtube of people actually launching mortars out of a tube with it on their head (still very stupid and something I don't condone), I saw that they weren't hurt or at least not badly. I think the guy either put it in upside down and/or I read in one of the videos where a guy went camping with 2 friends and did the same thing. Except for he didn't hold it securely to his head. Apparently if you don't hold it on a secure base, it blows the plastic bottom out of the tube and it will explode right onto the head.

    If I don't say that then a lot of people jump down my throat saying I was encouraging people to do this. Also, this video would be against youtube community guidelines if I do not tell you to not do this and could then get removed. The purpose of the video is to inform people what can happen if you are not paying attention, drunk, or just to stupid to care what you are doing when lighting fireworks.

    Concern I have is 1 upside down in a 30 tube rack, will the 1 upside down cause the other mortars to fire in any given direction? When you use 1 tube looks like you are OK but if you have a 30 rack with one upside down will this cause the rest to fire sporadically injuring the crowd? That is the question I have and I wish I could see that test... My rack tubes are extremely close together.

    The shell was placed upside down to show what can happen if you accidentally did this. It's required to have at least one tube per six shells, but HDPE can fire much more than six shells. Think about professional tubes that can fire hundreds of shells in a year. Changing the tube after six shells is really only important for cardboard tubes. If you inspect the tubes and they are not showing any damage, you can continue to use them.

    Joel Robinson​ Quick ? I built a 6 shot rack with bases hammered off of standard sized tubes using 2 x 4's. My two side vertical boards were 11" tall but they are too thick. I ended up with like an inch and a half gap between the mortars and the side rails. Had to go buy some filler wood. What is a good measurement for using to build a 6 shot rack? I know you prolly build em all the time. Should I have went with something other than 2 x 4's for the side vertical supports. I wish I could send you a pic so you could see what I am talking about. Do you have an email I could send it to?
