BBC 999 Lifesavers | Series 2, Episode 8 | 3 November 1995 | Bonfire Night Special 

Something like this should be remade for current UKCA/CE fireworks

That rocket the dad was firing should've been angled away from the two boys. It says on most rockets, 'angle away from spectators and overhead obstructions'. You should NEVER fire rockets and other aerial fireworks over spectators heads, it only takes a piece of debris or falling rocket case and stick falling on spectators to cause an injury.

Great Upload, BTW Have the 1996 Bonfire Night Special of 999 Lifesavers?

If only the lad obeyed the instruction to take the fireworks in the tin out, and use them PROPERLY according to their instructions, then that accident would not have happened at all. You should never ever put fireworks in your pocket at all nor stand round a bonfire with them in your pocket, as the heat and sparks will set them off. As to the bonfire incident, using petrol or any flammable liquid, is indeed foolish. If you've got a flagging bonfire, use some old motor oil from a car, or a little bit of diesel and extra cardboard and newspaper, or old chip pan fat, or a little vegetable oil, as these won't explode.
