But I will be posting it

To be fair Joe you're not supposed to post these, and I know how I would feel if it went off in some poor blokes bag while he was delivering it.... Hardly wworth it for 20quid....

 

Cheers for that pal, now I feel guilty! You are right tho, has the potential to cause a lot of problems.

Flair is now free for the first person to collect from Leeds.

Dam you J and conscience

 

They are not dangerous and are very stable, If you think about it, they'd hardly be in every car in Japan if they were un-stable, you need to take the cap off and strike it a couple of times to get them going, I know this because I have set loads of them off.

I probably have maybe 20 of them in 2/3 sizes if anyone else is interested, but I won't post them because it is against the law, so you'll have to come and get one if you want one that badly.

 

Thats alright, people just dont think about it like that, and it will ultimately be the guy on the end like you and me that gets hurt if something does go wrong.

They are explosives at the end of the day and are inherently dangerous, they wouldnt have had these rules if someone hadnt been hurt by one going off etc, there are plenty of safety features on them to try and stop accidental ignition but it could be something else he has in his bag that causes it go go off...

Dodgy chinese lithium batteries that are sent in the post get wet, next parcel is a flare a boom.....

 

Pm replied buddy

They don't explode, even if you chuck them on a fire, they just fizz, I know this because I was young and stupid and used to have loads of them due to working on a lot of imports, fitting alarms and stereos, fixing central locking and window problems.

While I get your sentiment and as I said, I would not post them because it's against the law, so I'm not attempting to defend that aspect, just the fact that they Don't go off with a bang, I know, I've tried to make them go bang 20yrs ago by throwing them on a camp fire, they are just big red sparklers, not sure what they are made of or how but I imagine it's the same stuff, probably saltpeter, you can hold them in the same way and they don't even get hot like sparklers do.

Remember Ellen MacArthur holding 2 of them out when she finished sailing around the world.

 

They're basically the same as this but quite a bit less violent probably because they're a lot smaller, about half the size and you can hold them the same too.


Oh and you can buy them on Ebay and they appear to be posting them too.

 

I set off one that was in my old car aswell and it was more like a candle than a flair
