Well, like every week after the 4th of July reports of people blowing their hands and even their heads off are coming in. Every year the week before, the morning news shows have a little demonstration of what not to do with fireworks and every week afterwards we have news stories of people who don’t watch the news but are now a part of it. I heard rumor that the mother of the young man who blew up his head is going to take legal action because of what happened. I heard her on the news say someone should have given some instruction on what not to do with the fireworks. I figure all the commercials for fireworks now on will have to sound like the ones for prescription drug.
Side effects may include, death, dismemberment, and of course severe burns. Don’t use alcohol with fireworks as this may lead to impaired judgement like firing them off of your head or in your hands or other openings in your body. If you do fire them off and something goes wrong seek immediate medical help as some of these stupid tricks could be life threatening. Avoid using the term “watch this” while lighting fireworks and speak to your wife or mother to see if fireworks are right for you.
