Yes well,I guess just booze, high spirits and fast cars together is allready a volatile mix. Not much goes wrong there. Again, if used/enjoyed in the right amounts and with the right level of responsibillity, chances are very slim of something bad happening.
One must be really deprived of working braincells to lit fireworks in such close vicinity as the track with the race going on! No wonder that's banned.
I personally have never seen any go off near the track myself. Not in the 20 odd years I've visited the place now.
Just once seen a firework gone wrong, in a campsite, on the ground. This was because of an accident or improper use. An ambulance had to show up to treat a few people.
I've seen many more ambulances show up for car or bike accidents or improper use of them. Also many more for improper use of alcohol or other substances. Campfires and barbies are also strong contenders for most injuries and damages at Le Mans...
I guess my point is that if we remove all the possible dangers, things get boring very soon.
I'm very experienced in setting off professional fireworks. Safety is
allways the number one issue when performing a display.
