When I first read they blow and anvil up into the air, I thought it sounded awful dangerous. I mean how can they be sure it won't blow off into somebody's direction? How did they set it up?

Thanks for pointing that out, 3p0...much better shot.

I couldn't get close enough to see how they set it up, but it looked like there were two anvils (one below for a firm foundation) and a tough, squat metal cylinder between them.

The local fire department handles the event and probably knows how safe it is. But apparently accidents do happen. (Read the caption here.)

Mombok caught a sweet picture of the anvil that shows the metal cylinder in the air!
