Firework Mishap Stories

[PanterA]

No forth of July would be complete without some bonehead to blow off a few fingers. Those stories we can live without, but there are funny firework mishap stories out there and I want to hear them.

I remember one year I was working for a Bike/Boat rental shack in Flushing Meadow Park. The guy who owned it was having a big party and invited me and all of my friends. Anyway, he was a connected man if you know what I mean, and he had boxes and boxes of boxes of fireworks. So me and my friends thought it would be a good idea to take out a boat each and shoot 8oz rockets at eachother. Yeah we were geniuses. So we're out there whizzing high explosives past eachothers ears. If you never been to Flushing Meadow Park you should know now that the water that these "boats" are in is BEYOND polluted. The "water" has a toxic odor rising from it, yet people pay money to paddle around in it...go figure. Anyway, I set a rocket, aim it just right so it would blow up in my friends face, and lite the sucker.....and I wait....wait some more holding my ears and squinting....ahhh this must be a dud...so I put it by my feet and reach in the back to grab another rocket. I set this one up, aim it just right....SKREEEEEEEEEEEEETTTCCCHHHH!!!!! The fucker at my feet takes off!! It screams around my legs burning hair, I'm kicking and screaming, the thing shoots up into my chest, spins over my shoulder.....and blows up in my stash of rockets in the back!!! It was like a movie how all the fireworks started going off. So I did the only thing I could....I dove right into the mucus green polluted water....and I swallowed some! AHHH. The rest of the night I stunk like a bastard, my clothes had a hue of green, and I couldn't get the taste of the God awful water out of my mouth!

good times good times

i've never actually seen anyone really get hurt...

one time someone lit an M80 that was shoved in a sandpile across the street. I got hit pretty damn hard with a small piece of something right in the chest, it fucking stung. i was just glad it wasn't my eye.

suggestion: if someone is setting off an M80, look the other way...

OK I'll try to help this thread along with another story.

My friends father was having a fireworks display infront of his house. He set up a huge morter in a thick metal pipe that was sort of leaning on a box or something. Well he lite the morter and dropped it into the pipe. The pipe rolls right off the box and before anyone can do anything, the morter shoots out of the pipe like a fucking cannon ball and nails me right in the stomach about 5 yards away. It burnt a hole though my shirt and left a welt the size of a softball. Luckly it didnt explode till after it bounce off my stomach and not when it hit me.

I'm truely a magnet for fireworks.

I know a guy that works in an ER and he told me two years ago a guy came in with half of his face missing. He had lit the fireworks, dropped them into a mortar, and then when nothing happened... pulled a daffy duck and looked down the tube.

KABOOM.

Dude, you must've been fucking baked!!
I assume these were bottle rockets. Me and my friends were playing with these last night.

Not a mishap story but we used to have Roman Candle fights in the street by my house. We would shoot them and each other and use garbage can lids as shields.

Ha ha we used to do that too, only without the garbage can lids. They didn't seem to hurt.

My friend blew off the tips of his "rolling" fingers because I guess he got tired of the M80s exploding on the ground and he wanted them to explode in the air. So he would light it and wait and wait and wait till the fuse was just about down and then thro- *BOOOOM* The first thing he said was "Well no more rolling with zigzags" ,,,sad really

It's fun seeing them blow up in the air, but you're fucked when you get a short fuse!!!

Yeah, i work at a marina on the gas dock. Around this time of year the bunker come into the harbor and there there are litteraly millions of them in there. Well, needless to say my buddy and i end up doing alot of fishing on slow days. Fishing involves cherry bombs. Its fun, you tape a weight to the cherry bomb, and then light it and toss it into the middle of a school of fish, and KABOOM. You have about thirty of forty fish just float up to the surface. We have also lit a couple of gas slicks on fire this way, yeah. Thats never good.

I would go over Wormwood's house and watch them shoot roman candles at each other. My mom wouldn't let me play because of the asthma. But I was still welcome because as the years went on Wormwood got better and better. He would hold roman candle tournements every year. The winner gets all the orange colored "Icey Sticks" the loser would be get 2nd degree burns. They would let me put the fires out as long as I brought my own fire-extinguisher. As word got out about this special kid, challangers from all over the island would line up to take a shot at the man-child called Wormwood. Then one day O&A had some people have anal in a church and they had to move the tournement down to DC. ( I'm sorry but it's getting late and I didn't know where I was going with that)

hey i got one from yesterday. nothing big but, a friend and i were shootin off roman candles in his backyard, and he has this little grass green house. its about 3 ft by 2 ft, he plans to grow plants but his parents live there so i dont see how. anyway thats not important, he accidently shot one in there and set a little plant on fire. it was only like a 2 foot fire and it was contained but it was funny to see him run around like an idiot tryin to get a hose to reach
