Well, I thought it was safe. At least she didn't hit herself in the eye, drop the bottle on her toe & cut her foot open (like her sister did)!

We did have a good laugh, well sort of. Now I get to fix it. That's 7 ft. up into the fixture, from a 1/2 full champagne bottle (cheap stuff). And she wonders why I put a towel over the cork. You just never know unless you triple check.

During one hospitalization, Dad's roommate was there after having his eye shot in to his head by a Champagne cork. We weren't rich enough to have had it been an issue at our house.
