Items such as [[safety match]]es, [[oxygen candle]]s, [[explosive bolt]]s and fasteners and the [[airbag|automobile safety airbag]] all fall under pyrotechnics. Without pyrotechnics, modern [[aviation]] and [[spaceflight]] would be impracticable. This is because pyrotechnic devices combine high [[reliability]] with very compact and efficient [[energy]] [[storage]]. A pyrotechnic show is a pre-planned complex that includes ground and high-altitude fireworks. Sometimes such events are accompanied by the performance of specially trained artists of the original genre with pyrotechnic equipment.<ref>{{Cite web|title=What is a pyrotechnic show|url=https://neva-salut.com/posts/chto-takoe-pirotekhnicheskoe-shou|access-date=|website=}}</ref> == Other websites == <!--All links here must be valid, reliable sourced websites.
