Model Rocket Safety Code

The Model Rocket Safety Code is a set of rules designed to ensure safe and responsible launching of model rockets. It emphasizes launching rockets outdoors in open areas, away from buildings, power lines, and trees, to prevent accidents. The code recommends checking rocket and engine conditions, using proper equipment, and following manufacturer instructions. It advises keeping spectators at a safe distance, never aiming rockets toward people, and only launching when weather permits. After launch, it’s important to wait for rockets to cool down, and to clean up debris. Overall, it promotes safety, respect for others, and responsible hobby practices.
