Yes, I am somewhat surprised Stine's and MPC's efforts in this report has not seen wider distribution throughout the years, and now, on vintage rocketry sites. I had heard of references to the various safety tests that were performed on motors for this technical paper, but had never seen a hard copy or a scanned copy on line anywhere when I first got this hard copy about a decade ago.

They certainly were trying to get across to local fire officials, potential distributors, and certainly end users, that model rocket motors were VERY safe if treated and used as intended. And, even if someone TRIED intentionally to mis-use (or abuse) the motors they were going to have a somewhat tough time doing so.
