After ignition, Super Big Bertha cleared the launch rail by about 2 feet when the nozzle blew out. The rocket then fell to the ground sideways and continued to burn the propellant, delay charge and then the ejection charge, popping out the nosecone and chute about a foot away from the rocket. No damage was occurred by the rocket.
