A dry ice bomb is a simple bomb-like device. While the simplicity and ease of construction, high bursting pressure, and sound make this dry ice activity appealing for recreational purposes, it can be unpredictable and dangerous, and has led to many injuries – and dry ice bombs are illegal in many jurisdictions. Dry ice bombs are considered to be in the same class as hand grenades in most places. Even though they are thought of as fun and recreational, they can be extremely dangereous to the handler and anyone within the blast radius.
