It's amazing the casual way people treat water rockets when they are so dangerous. The same guys who are afraid to light a firecracker while holding it will think nothing of picking up a pressurized rocket with their bare hands! It's amusing as long as nobody gets hurt but we need to discourage dangerous activities because one day someone will get hurt or lose an eye and then water rockets will get a bad stigma and be looked own upon.

This is a good topic! People searching on water rockets will see this subject and morbid curiosity will make them look and it will subconsciously teach them how dangerous water rockets are! I don't know how many people I see holding rockets in their hands like that one guy!

How did a water rocket do so much damage to a car windshield?

In the youtube video that I found that in they were launching some kind of weather instrumentation on that rocket. All of those circuit boards were shattered too. He is lucky it only damaged the windshield. If it had landed on the painted metal of the car the damage could have been in the thousands. I'm glad everyone likes my video. I was planning on uploading this to youtube when it is finished. Do you guys have any suggestions or comments on how to make it better. It was not finished when someone asked to see funny or dangerous water rocket videos so I decided to give everyone here first shot at seeing it. My favorite is the guy with the water cooler that knocks him on his butt. Maybe this video could go viral and can educate people that pressurized rockets need respect.
