Tired of the legal mumbo jumbo? Here are some plain language cautions.

Rocketry can be dangerous. There is no way we can supervise how you design, build or fly your rockets or when or where you do it so we can NOT be responsible for your problems however they occur. You can hurt yourself or others and damage property even if you know what you are doing.

Join a club and get insurance cover. Check the provisions of your household insurance. We recommend Blast Off!, NAR and Tripoli Rocketry Association because they offer worldwide third party coverage and protect the landowners at no extra cost - conditions apply. Follow the safety code in force at the site or club you use to fly your rockets. Always... even if the people in charge seem to allow exceptions.

Flying rockets is only for people willing to accept the liabilities that may arise from the storage, transport, launching, flight and landing of their rockets and motors. If you are not willing to accept full responsibility for your actions, find another hobby. We hear that building ships in bottles is very satisfying ;-)
