They are kids, let them have fun and enjoy the moment. I challenge you to find an instance where this powder has exploded or caused a fire at a football game, ridiculous. Lets make them conform to a standard that we believe is the best for them and stifle any creativity and passion that they may bring to the sport???

 

It's dangerous! Just because nothing terrible has happened yet doesn't change that fact.

 

Plus, I wouldn't want that crap on me, and who's cleaning it up?

So who gets sued if something happens?

Will the school because they never tried to stop it or keep kids from doing it.

Everybody with a potentially deep pocket gets sued.

Everyone has Hydrofluoric Acid in their homes that can kill half a city. Where is the outrage?

 

For fun start looking up the ingredients in your household cleaners. Chill out people.

They are against the fire code in Kentucky as they cannot be set off in a crowd

The material used for color runs is generally a form of cornstarch mixed wity natural color additives, and it is extremely flammable when dispersed into the air as a dust cloud, yes. Essentially any combustible particulate material suspended in the air is highly flammable...dust, flour, cornstarch, etc.

 

My older brother was a combat engineer in the US Army, and they were actually trained to utilize flour as a fuel for makeshift incendiary firebombs when such a device was needed. He showed us once how a 5 pound bag of all purpose flour could make a 15 ft diameter fireball if needed once...it was impressive to see, but VERY dangerous when used that way.

 

looks like I got something new to play around with out on the farm. thanks!

Coolest thing was Male at Manual and both student sections doing this. One Red and the other Purple.

 

Kids having fun at their high school football game is a big deal.

 

I don't see how or why it affects the game, but safety first! :ohbrother:

Christian County folks know about grain dust explosions. BOOM! isn't a running back.

Love the smoke bombs...:thumb:

Essayons.....and yes, a concussion grenade and 5 pound bag of flour can bring a building down. I did pay attention during these training events....
