      Honestly, when you look at the basic structure of the two, they are ultimately no different. The only difference really comes down to intent of their use. One just happens to have pretty colors. You could use either interchangeably via tubes or other methods of launching.

    He could have said, "We were going for a Mine Effect instead of launching a higher breaking shell", but this man has pride and wont take credit for a misfire. Still really cool to see. Thanks for showing the fireworks from a father distance and some closer up. Really made for better viewing the show, and the fast forward to see the Yonshakudama was fun to watch also. Glad he did it this way instead of just not filming it at all and just going to the Yonshakudama Shells and the end. Adding a filming of one going off properly really showed how much design and build time goes into these shells which is well deserved!!! Thanks for the fun video. Now if I could just learn to build them here in the U.S. I'd be the King of Pyrotechnics in the U.S.!! One can dream about doing this, especially a pyro like myself.. Here's to a perfect wind speed to clear the smoke and no Duds!! Cheers... :)

They don't have to be tough like a military helmet, the way the suspension (straps) works is to keep the actual helmet material up above your skull a few inches. If something heavy drops onto your head, it acts like a cars supsenion and bounces down, disapating the kinetic energy.

      As a fellow Pyro, in my experience thats the the best you can do in protection without 1 up-ing to a EOD suit. So cotton clothes, a helmet, glasses, gloves and boots gives you the best mobility and protection you can get, setting up a show is a long process and you cant be in a suit all that time its better to be set up to run (thats why you see the makers just not wearing anything) these are dangerous explosives, the main reason for base PPE is protection against small stuff like small shrapnel and Stars/peonies/fire during the shoot. If sparks hit the fan the training is to run, as fast as you can.
