Ive still got mine and after reading all the worries of it exploding i had an idea,Place it in a tub of water over night and after that the bu88er aint going to explode......warning im no scientist so when it dries out it might be a angry flare,,,,who knows?

GLOL!!!

All this talk of 'exploding'!! It's a flare not a rocket!!

All I can imagine is bright plummes of coloured smoke, not New Years Day celebrations!

BANG!... not!

As long as you dont play with it they are fine just be aware of the expirey date before using it properly and make sure you put the sleeve on the end cap so your not holding the actual flare and dont burn your hand off.

Okay if its in your car and un touched then it should be fine.

Its closed and you have to open it then remove the striking cap then strike the top.

The whole thing about it exploding was down to a time expired flare we used and it just burnt through in about 20 seconds instead of the 10 minutes its rated for Think roman candle rather than signal flare :shock:

so please calm down and dont worry its not gonna explode through driving.
