There's kids using petards in school every year during Carnival and those are dangerous too if they do stupid stuff such as opening them and trying to ignite and burning their face or other stuff like that. And the police doesn't get involved.
I had to look that up. I've seen the word before, but never gave it much thought.
Petard comes from the Middle French peter, to break wind, from pet expulsion of intestinal gas, from the Latin peditus, past participle of pedere, to break wind, akin to the Greek bdein, to break wind (Merriam-Webster).

I propose changing the name to fart box to denote freedom, and drop it's Frenchie origins :^D
