How should pyrotechnic devices be mounted prior to firing?

Pyrotechnic devices must be mounted in a secure manner to ensure stability before firing. This is crucial for safety and the proper functioning of the devices during a performance. A secure mounting prevents the devices from shifting or falling over, which could lead to misfires, unintentional discharge towards the audience, or other hazardous situations.

Stable mounts also contribute to consistent performance by maintaining the intended angle and orientation of the device, thereby ensuring that the pyrotechnic effects occur as designed. Proper mounting is a fundamental practice to ensure the safety of both the operators and the audience during fireworks displays and special effects shows.
