Never place any part of your body that you aren't willing to lose, over a mortar tube.
Never look directly into a mortar tube to check it.
If possible, avoid reloading mortar tubes that have just been fired. If you must reload a mortar tube that has recently been fired, turn the tube upside down first to dump out any hot debris that may be remaining in the bottom before reloading it.
The paper mortar tubes that are supplied with many shell kits should only be used with the number of shells that were originally contained in the kit. Fiberglass and black HDPE (high-density polyethylene) mortars are much stronger and longer lasting and should be used whenever possible.
