Just an innocent question as they seem to be rife at these sorts of events. Are festival/concert goers lungs more immune to them i wonder?! Pyro and smoke bombs are neither legal nor considered acceptable at concerts any more than than they are at football, except by the selfish few, of course.

I remember many years ago when one bright spark (no pun intended) in our group thought it would be a good idea to stuff a few empty aerosol cans in the neighbourhood bonfire. They certainly made a boom, the FB were called and the site was evacuated, much to the dismay and anger of close living families, who had to pack up their party tables and return home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(2) Sec 72a Public Order Act 1986 At last some clarification! Good work! So does the term “pyrotechnic” include the smoke canisters or is that just the flares/firework types?

I don’t want to try it, I’m just curious. About 2oz of Semtex Phil IIRC Roll it , and place around rim.. Saves mucking about and having to pack a tin opener or Swiss Army Knife More dramatic too , though it did leave the beans with a funny taste .......or should I say the few that remained * The camping in the wooods bit , I understand , that’s where we also had to camp having being banned from all the family camping sites due to #Beansgate Edited June 17, 2022 by Sheltons Army Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The beans boil inside the can, which inturn puts pressure on the can which goes on for so long until pop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
