Yes, it would. My idea was to place the sand bag on top of the laundry, leaving the bag folded over only once so that the sand would spill out into the air upon ejection. Were I to have an ejection failure and a ballistic lawn dart, all bets are off anyway and spectators should take cover. I know I sure will!
