Sparx88 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Here's one, I'm sure is popular among us, remember when you were young and had some cool awsome firecrackers,? You know the one's, black cat, thunderbombs, the regular consumer crackers. Well, you ever break one in half to light the halves so they sparkle like a fountain? yeah, I know of 3 others at that time who did also. Guess what happened to me when I started to do that? Yep, one blew up in my fingers when I lit it. Made my finger tips numb for a day and some of it became permanant. Oh boy that was a blast. Oh Oh, and what about those cool bottle rockets we all lit while holding and pointing them, yep, a nice rocket burn on your thumb is'nt fun. And heres another dandy, 4 years ago near where I live a father accidentally killed his son with a festival ball, he was shooting them out of a pvc pipe holding it like a bazooka when his boy ran in front of him at the wrong time and was hit in the temple of his head, ruptering the temporal artery with skull fracture. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basg37 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 A friend and I set up multiple tubes on a large peice of plywood trying to keep from burning the grass. Well after the first shell went off, the concussive force on the plywood knocked over one of the other tubes and sent the next one right for us. I don't think I've ever tucked and rolled so quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobosan Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I'm a dumbass. I wouldn't say that BB. Call it "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" as in Gilmour's "lucky" 13th Floyd album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindsight Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Bobosan, Looked up the lyrics for the song "One Slip" from that LP: One slip and down the hole we fall It seems to take no time at all A momentary lapse of reason 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ubehage Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 About a year ago, I was making KNO3/sugar compositions, and "playing" with rocketry. I tested out a nozzle, by making the full rocket-motor, and putting it firmly stuck between 2 big rocks.All went well for about 4 seconds. Then, suddenly, the rocket managed to break free, and immediately came flying my way. Let me just say, that the nozzle worked perfectly! It hit me, before I even acknowledged the fact that it didn't go according to plan.The rocket hit my right hand, very hard! I broke the middle finger by that rocket. My first thought was, "Oh well, that could have been much worse!", and then I looked at my other arm.. It was completely black, and my shirt was in half; the rest was burned.My arm was burned so badly, I couldn't even feel it. I never felt any pain from it; but the process of healing was a clear proof that I was badly burned. That taught me one very valuable lesson: Unless you WANT your stuff to move, you have to make sure that it can't happen. Simply relying on basic physics, thinking "It will hold itself here", is not enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
