When the kids were little we had a party with them at the bottom of the garden once and even though we thought we were very safe one fell over, shot into the open door, adults having to throw kids out of the way, and ricochet off the walls of the room. It was pretty scary, never again!

When I was a kid my dad tried... Once and only once... To do a display in our garden. One of them was a pinwheel attached to a wooden post... Only the post wasn't hammered far enough into the ground, so when it was lit it went spinning off around the garden - wooden post and all - with all of the neighbourhood kids leaping out of the way screaming.
Good times
