Amen to safety. 

One of our young bucks nearly paid w/ his life for a neat way to start the
council fire one year at Pow Wow. He'd intended to use a line of black
powder to 'remotely' light the fire. The test run was a complete success.
While setting up the real thing he had half a pound of black powder blow up
in his hand! I saw the metal powder can, blown open its entire length.
Frightening. Only by God's grace (& I say that in the strictest sense) did
he not only live but was spared loosing his hand, his face & his eyesight.

Needless to say, we now have MUCH stricter controls over the use of such
items as black powder at RR/FCF events.
