      Some of my best memories as a child was spent watching firework shows with my parents. Sometimes accidents happen but things like this are very rare. Millions of shows go off without a problem. If you are worried about ever last little thing in life you might as well never leave home. Besides watching fireworks on TV is nothing like being there and getting all the different senses at once.
