Gentlemen,
     The rocket engine in the described device is a trgger, that is, it
forces the creamer OUT of the can then ignites it.  At no time is the
device in danger of concussive explosion, it is incendiary and rather
poor at that.  My respect for Estes and similar companies is legion.
However, The safety guide that comes in a package is just a guide so that
foolish people that try my device (note: I didn't say BOMB) can't sue
when it sets Yellowstone park on fire.  I suggest we open a new catagory
called Fools.pyro.bomb and leave the morality of self induced injury out
of Sci.space.shuttle.  Please let's put the subject to rest.  I will if
you will.
