Horrifying. All, if you know young ppl who will use fireworks these next few weeks, please do what you can to either discourage them entirely or make sure they use them safely. Hundreds of young ppl will be in the ER with firework injuries this month. Many of these injuries will be life altering.
My dad never let us shoot fireworks because he knew a kid who got a bottle rocket to the face, and while I resented it at the time, I'm now very glad he made that rule and that mom wouldn't let us ride in anyone's pickup bed because she'd seen a horrible accident involving a pickup bed full of kids.
