… don’t play with fireworks.
Fuses on cherry bombs, M-80s, “quarter sticks” and all other explosive devices do not always burn at a uniform rate.
Holding said explosive devices in your hand is asking for trouble.
If the fuse burns faster than expected, you might lose more than you expected – like this poor chap recently did.
Ouch!
Nice x-ray, though. Very crisp.
I remember back in the day, a kid in my neighborhood decided he didn’t want his M80 (or whatever) to go off, so he stepped on it to put it out.
Lost a toe instead.
Hmmm, guess you ‘pointed’ that out to the young man.
There’s another playing-with-fireworks x-ray making the rounds (a friend of mine IMed it to me…maybe from reddit?) that’s much less…hand-shaped. I think this guy is pretty lucky.
Not the booger finger!
don’t worry there’s always the left hand…switch hitter
