The rocket ejects instantly with a loud sound and a slight recoil. Make sure the rocket is not aimed at people or property.

Long-range, day and nighttime distress signaling rocket. Designed to withstand exceptional environmental exposure and to operate reliably even after immersion in water. It features an improved grip for easy handling and complies with SOLAS 74/88 as amended. The rocket propels a red flare attached to a parachute up to 300 m and burns for 40 seconds. SOLAS requires 12 rockets to be carried on the bridge of ships and 4 rockets to be installed on life rafts and lifeboats. They are also used on pleasure craft.
