Poor guy....insurance prob wont cover that sort of kit I don't see why it wouldn't cover it, but what price do you put on time and effort for building, upgrading etc. i would be horrified if this was me.

barnetbasher Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I guess it depends what cover he has...some companies would limit the payout unless you specify that there are valuable items stored. Exact same thing happend to the PE shed at my primary school when I was a nipper...whole lot was razed... all the kit destroyed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickstar Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Thats harsh , I would be gutted. I would donate a couple of quid to him, and now 1500 others do the same and he will be sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistonhead Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Fuuuuuck, hope he sorts it all out! I'd edit the f bomb out before mods see it lol. Bad times for the person involved.

Atomic7431 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 This is horrible news and shows how dangerous these things can be. My neighbours had a display the other night and some rockets went into the sky but never exploded, wonder where they are now? and one rocket they stuck in the ground and not the provided launcher and it sat there a light on the ground and then all of a sudden shot up at an angle across their back fence and exploded in the garden at the rear and they laughed thought it was funny, go figure. I know the rocket was put straight in the ground as she told me they had ......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
