Can a Parachute Rocket Flare kill you?

Asked by tyrantxseries (4722points) July 6th, 2009

Parachute Rocket Flare
I’m having a debate with a friend about this:
this is the hypothetical situation
I buy a parachute flare, insted of using it correctly I turn and shoot you in the chest with it just the flare being fired not igniting the main flare say at 50ft just wearing your regular clothes would you survive?

I think it would kill you (the average flare travels apx 220ft/sec), my friend thinks it would severely injure you but you would survive
