A dry ice bomb is a simple bomb-like device. While the simplicity and ease of construction, high bursting pressure, and sound make this dry ice activity appealing for recreational purposes, it can be unpredictable and dangerous, and has led to many injuries – and dry ice bombs are illegal in many jurisdictions. Dry ice bombs are considered to be in the same class as hand grenades in most places. Even though they are thought of as fun and recreational, they can be extremely dangereous to the handler and anyone within the blast radius.

Famous quotes containing the words dry, ice and/or bomb:
“A too-fluent green
Suggested malice in the dry machine
Of ocean, pondering dank stratagem.
Who then beheld the figures of the clouds
Like blooms secluded in the thick marine?”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Goodness and evil never share the same road, just as ice and charcoal never share the same container.”
—Chinese proverb.
“There are no accidents, only nature throwing her weight around. Even the bomb merely releases energy that nature has put there. Nuclear war would be just a spark in the grandeur of space. Nor can radiation “alter” nature: she will absorb it all. After the bomb, nature will pick up the cards we have spilled, shuffle them, and begin her game again.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
