I think the key is using them in an open space away from people and where you can have some measure of safety. My friends would use theirs in an uninhabited valley off a ridge.

- macNchz 2y agoWhen my friends and I made these 20 years ago we leaned into the "cannon" vibe and mounted them on sawhorses held down with sandbags, then the ignition was on a wire so you could step back to fire it. At the time I think it was... not about safety so much as it just seemed cool to do it like that, but I guess that's one way not to actually be holding the thing while it fires.
