Pre-Show Setup

• Set up your tubes on a hard, flat, level surface
• Make sure you have a clear, open space to shoot
• Have a hose, fire extinguisher, or water supply on hand for emergencies
• Be sure you stabilize your parachute tube with bricks
• Make sure your audience is a safe distance away, minimum of 150 feet
• Keep tubes in their packaging until you are ready to use
• Make sure all fuses are covered until ready to use

Using Parachutes

• Be sure to wear Safety Glasses and Safety Gloves when lighting
• Use a Phantom Pyro Torch, punk or extended lighter to light
• Use a flashlight at night so you can see the fuse
• After you light the fuse move a minimum of 20 feet from the tube
• Never re-use a parachute that fails to light the first time, use a hose or other water source to soak the parachute and safely dispose of the parachute outdoors
• Make sure to clean up the parachute as they return to the ground

Warning

• Do not use with Alcohol
• Never attempt to take a parachute apart
• Never put your hand or any part of your body over a parachute
