Lawsuit Filed Over Injuries Suffered at "Large and Dangerous" Rocket Festival
I can tell you definitively that anyone involved with "an 18' 300 pound rocket" would not allow anyone within at least 500 feet of it, that includes the owner of the rocket, the club, and the individuals responsible for the range safety. I've been to Lucerne Valley several times, and I can tell you that they won't even allow people out in the open area for the little Estes rockets, much less anything this big. There are VERY STRICT safety procedures for these launches, and everyone there takes them extremely seriously. Everyone there, including spectators, is required to sign a waiver that states that they understand what's going on and take responsibility for their own actions. In order to be able to simply buy the rocket motors for a rocket this large, you have to go through a three-stage certification process that basically proves that you not only know the safety procedures involved but that you have a fairly sophisticated level of engineering expertise as well. The complaint makes it sound like these are a bunch of drunkards out to have fun watching fireworks... nothing could be further from the truth.— June 15, 2012 2:07 p.m.
