They are BIODEGRADABLE CARDBOARD. EJECT AND FORGET.
Don't like it ? Don't do it.
Don't like me doing it ? You can pick up and have my ejected motors for free.

except for the fact they can hit you in the head or put your eye out as you look up.....in the 60's with Estes being the Dominant motor maker ( of course there was Coaster and Prodyne for a while) I assume up until the Coaster and Prodyne appeared motor ejections were common place and not considered a safety hazard. Larger paper cases and plastic phenolic cases, that was a different thing. If GH had had his way, there would be a lot of one-eyed jacks among us rocketfolk today. LOL 
I think the motor freeflight issue now only applies to NAR competition. There's nothing in the Safety Code about ejected motors nor nfpa 1122.
