Fireworks are one of those sketchy areas where the only reason they're still allowed to exist is purely tradition and anything that departs from the norm is tragically unsafe because the whole thing is unsafe, even though the new idea might make it less unsafe. If you follow me.
That said, this is a brand of fireworks that has an in-fuse and an out-fuse (color coded). The out-fuse is exactly the right length for the time it takes the firework to go off. Thus, when one finishes, it lights the next one. In this way you can daisy-chain several fireworks together and have a full show that you only have to light once.
Could this be safer? Well, fewer lightings mean fewer chances of getting hit or burned. A controlled method of lighting multiple fireworks means fewer cobbled-together attempts that so often result in bottle rockets pointing non-upwards. And if you made the spark on the fuse very obvious, then people are unlikely to walk-up mid-show to see if the next one needs lighting.
