Just to put into retrospect how much damage something can make, a gentleman launched a cardboard rocket in Calgary a few summers back. The ejection charge didn't go off and it nosedived right into a school roof. It actually punctured the roof, requiring repair and an insurance claim. Luckily I believe this was a club launch and the membership insurance took over if I remember correctly.

Never underestimate what can happen.
