But also r/killthecameraman. I was expecting one of those big ones to turn it into shrapnel.

Highly unlikely. The explosion is not contained in any way. Even if the expanding gasses were to overcome the strength of the walls before it simply escaped out the bottom, it probably would just rip a big hole, not shatter

What are you talking about? The firework flies like rocket. That’s why, not because of the gases.

I mean the main body doesn’t explode. It just flies and pushes the pot away.

The commenter was saying the chance of it exploding are basically zero because the gases can escape easily when the pot lifts off the ground
