Rocket Misfire

In November 2007 at a display at Bristol organised by Bristol Round Table and Clifton Rotary Club in aid of local charities a firework misfired, injuring three people. They were treated for minor burns and grazes. After an investigation by the display contractors Fantastic Fireworks it was established that the spectators, who were not among the main audience, had strayed into the designated fall-out 'no-go' area.
