No more dangerous then firing a shotgun into the air.

In all seriousness if you wanted to turn this into a makerfair project it
would be more appropriate to modulate the speed and buy about 35 frisbees.

Doesn't anyone else think doing this at a public event is a very bad idea?

When acrylic shatters it can create small sharp shards. I would not use
such a device unless everyone in the room was wearing eye protection.

That would be really awesome! We'd have to be really careful because I
would think on of those could cut you really bad. I've also seen people
spin the CD until it explodes.

Of course we'd have to take this 'up a notch', but still, it looks quite
doable.
