in both cases, i probably would have laughed.

--edit--

no, in that second case, i would have been scared ****less at first. then while the guy was in the hospital, i would have thinking "what the **** was going through his head? god damn. ****ing moron."

that happened to me on the 4 of July. it was at my friends dads work. we were blowing some off before we went down to the beach. there was a strip of them. and some of them got blown off the strip when we lit them. so i picked the extras up, lit them and then i though them. one of them blue up right by my ear. i couldn’t hear out of that ear for the rest of the night. my whole hand went numb for a few minutes. my ear still goes in an out sometimes. And this all happened right after i closed lined myself doing a whellie

Duh, Austin
don't ask me how, but as a kid I had a pack go off in my pocket.

ripped the hell out of my jeans and I had some nasty powder burns.

No damage, thank god.
 
probably not a good idea, but we used to hold those "lady finger" fire crackers in our hand (closed fist) and let em go off. :rolleyes:

But dude, you gotta know you have to twist the fuses on those cheapie ones. Not a garuantee, but better to be safe than sorry when throwing 'em.

Oh and when playing with M80's from south of the border, ALWAYS use a long punk (long stick with glowing embers at the end) to set 'em off. I've lit way too many of those bastads that went off in about a second. Wouldn't want one of those going off anywhere near my body parts. (Crap. now that I think about it, maybe that's why I have tenitis?)

My friend found a firecracker in his jeans pocket after they had been washed and he didnt think it was going to work. So he lit it and for sure it did. At this time he was in his bathroom. He panic and dropped it down his toliet and no joke, the side of the toliet blew off. Not the whole side but a big enough piece to spill water EVERYWHERE! This was caused by i believe a M-2000. He then proceeded to mop up the water and just place the piece back on the toilet. His parents never found out he did it and the believe that his little nephew somehow did it and went out a bought a new toilet the next day. I was shocked. I am not joking about this story..

Or go to San Fran - there's an Egyptian restaurant there that brings out a hookah after dinner for a little fruit-tobacco smokin' :dead:

Firecrackers are the Chinese contribution to natural selection.
:stupid: And apparently in this thread Darwin is just *waiting* for his opportunity to clean up the gene pool. :rolleyes:
