Salute Rocket Problems

Salute rockets are highly sought-after products. They do not have an effect other than a bright flash of light along with an enormous bang once they explode in the sky. People love salute rockets because of the extremely loud noise that they emit. Rockets are also a favorite product of many people because of the way that they self-propel into the sky, leaving a trail of sparks behind them.

            Although salute rockets are very popular, they can also be very dangerous. You can make an argument that all fireworks are dangerous, but rockets might have the most risk to them. One big problem that rockets in general have is their low reliability to go where you want them. Since a rocket self-propels into the air rather than having a lift charge like a shell, rockets might not follow a straight path into the air. For example, I have lit rockets before that were aimed at approximately an 80-degree angle away from me and then they propel backwards toward me. This is very dangerous because you do not know where the rocket will actually end up, even when you point it away from the crowd.

            Another problem salute rockets have is that they often explode very early. This is a major flaw as it puts everyone’s safety at risk. I have seen videos of people lighting salute rockets and the rocket explodes less than 10 feet into the air. This could cause major harm if it explodes close enough to a person.

            Salute rockets have some major problems, but they are still a very fun product to use. I just advise that you be very careful when using these kinds of rockets.
