- description: The humble old party sparkler seems to have suffered a nasty downsize. Who knows what has caused this, maybe it's connected to 911. Over the years in my field of work I have used sparklers many times, it's really sad to see how they have changed and lost much of their safe fireworks effect. Maybe the downsize is designed to lower the risk when making sparkler bombs. Sparkler bombs are constructed by binding together as many as 300 sparklers with tape, leaving one extended to use as a fuse. In 2008 three deaths were attributed to these home-made devices, which can be ignited accidentally by heat or friction. Because they usually contain more than 50 milligrams of the same explosive powder found in firecrackers, they are illegal in the USA The "classic" type of sparkler consists of a stiff metal wire approximately 20 cm or 8 inches long that has been dipped in a thick batter of slow-burning pyrotechnic composition and allowed to dry.
