Hi, I'm David Hunter with Expert Village. Today we're going to be talking about fireworks, the different types and safety tips. And now we're going to talk about reading the labels on your fireworks. All your fireworks should have a warning label on them that will tell you the warnings and hazards of shooting your fireworks. Also they will tell you what they do, and some of the action they will have with them rather they have reports which are loud booms that they have in them or the whistles, and the tails which are like comets that go up. But make sure that you read those labels; they'll say warning on them, they will tell you important information that you need to know when shooting your fireworks that way you can be safe and of course the people around you can be safe also. On this particular item it says, WARNING: FLAMABLE ROCKET WITH REPORT. What that means is you have a projectile that is going to be shot up into the air and it's going to have a pop to it. Also it says USE ONLY UNDER ADULT SUPERVISION, FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY, PLACE IN A CONCRETE BLOCK OR AN IRON PIPE AND PLACE THEM AT A 75 DEGREE ANGLE. NEVER HOLD THESE FIREWORKS IN YOUR HAND. LIGHT FUSE AND GET AWAY. THIS ROCKET TRAVELS AT A HIGH SPEED AND CAN TRAVEL LONG DISTANCES. MISUSE MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR FIRE. To sum this up, this is a very safe item, only if you follow the instructions and shoot it the way it was intended.
