Is model rocketry safe?

Yes! In fact, when the NAR Model Rocket Safety Code is followed, Estes model rocketry is one of the safest outdoor activities for kiddos and adults alike. Because of the hobby’s popularity over the last half century, it’s impossible to know exactly how many model rockets have been launched, but it’s safe to say that Estes model rocket engines are responsible for over 500 MILLION safe and successful launches since 1958. For more than 60 years, Estes has provided—and continues to provide—STEM educational materials and innovative products to people of all ages—all with equal emphasis on providing safe and exhilarating learning experiences.
