It just goes to show you how powerful water rockets can be.

Welcome to the forum.

Try to get that chute working.

Was that rocket just made from ordinary bottles? Or did you use PVC pipe or something!!! If a regular bottle rocket did that much damage to a metal roof, I'd hate to get hit on the head by one of those things falling down.

Please be careful with the PVC rockets. It's a well known fact in the water rocket community that PVC shatters when it bursts and makes sharp shrapnel that can severely injure you. Take precautions so you don't have an accident.
