One 4th of July, I had bottle rockets and with a friend was standed on a shed roof liting them and then dropping them into a 12 foot pipe for maximum trajectory.We were having a great time but some never left the pipe.I decided to look down the pipe for some reason and to my surprise one reignited itself and speed up the barrel.I can see it now, just like when the Apollo rockets leave Cape Canaveral only confined to a cylinder. It hit me in my forehead , 1/2 inch from my eye. My head deflected it and it exploded a foot from my friends face. Good times..

p.s I had a little round mark on my forehead for weeks.

Yah, my fam and friends have tons of stories with close calls and even some not so close calls. The biggest injuries happened when the neighborhood kids decided to have roman candle/bottle rocket fights. Even looking past the burns, the impact of the roman candle shots don't feel so good either.

I also had a friend pretty much mangle his hand with a quick lighting m80. Not pretty. Not pretty at all. Let's just say he earned his bones with an M80 Hottub style.

it didnt even blow up near him! i could understand if he was burned

i could shoot that stick and paper piece of shit out of a gun and he wouldnt have a bruise, it would just deflect away harmlessly

another game we invented was called Jupiter 2. We would take a Frisbee and tape the exploding kind of bottle rockets to the edge and lite it and throw it at each other. You would be armed with a stickball bat and had to knock it out of orbit before it exploded near you . Good Times...

When I came back from Florida I stopped at South of the Border and got some killer fireworks. They had these rockets that had a really big explosion and turned 3 colors.

So we are lighting these off in a parking lot, using a 40 bottle to hold them up. The last one we lit knocked the bottle over, and the rocket shot across the lot into the corner and when it exploded set off every car alarm in the lot and created a huge fire instantly from the trash that was piled in there. I need to get some more rockets like that. We dont get good fireowrks around here anymore.

You know those lame snakes? My town banned dangerous fireworks. So I got a REALLY REALLY HUGE snake and lit it. It destroyed the whole town.

One time someone I knew felt compelled to tell me an injury story about fireworks and I bored myself to death.

There's a video of me somewhere on the internets of me shooting fireworks off of my stomach. And then, with my bare stomach and chest covered in ash, claiming that, "I am the fireworks master".

I hope to recreate that this weekend with my bag full of fireworks I recently purchased.

I have this one friend who always comes thru with the best stuff. When I lived in NY we were only allowed to have stuff like snakes or dim sparklers. But my friend had connects and he got these badass sparklers that were really bright! I mean these things were sooooooo bright it was the best 4th of July ever!

I had this pack of these fireworks called Bulldogs. Well i think they were like black cats, where they are all stuck together. Well they must have fallen off the pack. Well i had a couple that fell off, and I was going to light them separately. The wick was very short. So i was going to light it, and quickly throw. Well I lit it, cranked back to throw and it blew up in my hand next to my head. My whole side of my face was numb, my ears were ringing, and my hand was killing me for a couple of days. Never will do that again.
