 Ya know, I never did see or hear a follow-up to the story of the howitzer bursting (my theory of being over loaded is sheer speculation on my part)......Without more information, I can't say it was overloading or something in the barrel that should not have been or faulty metal.......etc...

Reenacting can be dangerous, as anytime gun powder is involved there is an inherent risk. In the hands of people who pay attention to what they are doing and act in a safe fashion, the risk is minimized....it's still there, but minimized.

Shoot, fishing is also a dangerous hobby!! It depends on other boaters/fisherman acting in a safe, responsible fashion.....
