Model rocketry has a defined safety code that requires a safe recovery of the rocket. Also, you are not to have an on board explosive device not associated with recovering the model. The engines also are designed and tested to work within defined parameters.

Yeah, I understand that. But really, they are both designed to leave the ground. Why the ban on one, and not the other?

I guess people who tape a rocket engine and firecrackers to a balsa wood stick are not following the Model Rocket Safety Code?
